The Seventh International Conference Colour in Film, a 3 day event is organized by The Colour Group (GB), HTW Berlin and Filmarchiv Austria, and will take place in Metro Kino in Vienna, Austria.
“Colour In Film”, will focus on colour in underwater film, particularly the work of Austrian film and diving pioneer Hans Hass. Hass’ important cinematic heritage is preserved at Filmarchiv; his stunning 1954 Technicolor feature, UNDER THE CARRIBBEAN, was among the first to open up the underwater realm in all its colours to a worldwide audience. We will explore the cinematic underwater film from its monochrome beginnings through this milestone and beyond learn about the colours of cinema, nature, and the nature of colour and light.
A programme of screenings, presentations, and restoration case studies will include keynote lectures on Hans Hass, the colours of the animal realm, and the unique process of Lippmann photography.
