First Dutch 3D film Duel on Water has world premiere at CineMec XL on June 27.
Ivo Broekhuizen and Mathijs Geijskes of A Million Dreams make
the world's first short fiction film in 3D

The first Dutch 3D film, Duel on Water 3D, will have its world premiere on June 27 during the opening of the largest digital 3D cinema in the Netherlands: CineMec XL in Ede. Duel on Water 3D is the first 3D fiction film ever made in the Netherlands. Worldwide, it is the first short fiction film shot using all the latest digital techniques. It is also the only 3D film shot entirely on the water, from a specially prepared boat. The short film will be part of CineMec XL's summer program 'Experience the Sea in 3D'.
Duel on Water 3D is live-action: the film was shot with (two) cameras and subsequently provided with computer-generated effects.

In the short film, a boy in a motorized rubber boat is harassed by a dangerous speedboat. He has no idea why, but the unknown driver challenges him to a duel on the water…

Duel on Water 3D is written, directed, and produced by
Ivo Broekhuizen and Mathijs Geijskes of A Million Dreams.
Duration: 4 minutes, age rating: AL

Yvo Broekhuizen: “Filming in 3D is much more complex than in 2D. An additional challenge was creating a 3D shoot from a boat. The high-tech equipment is not very water-resistant and requires a lot of electricity. And while the former is available in abundance on boats, the latter is scarce.”

It is possible to watch films in 3D at an increasing number of locations. Cinemas worldwide are being prepared for digital 3D screenings; there are even already 3D live broadcasts and 3D screens. As the largest digital 3D cinema, Cinemec XL is a frontrunner in the field of digitization and 3D, and starting this summer, it will utilize all these possibilities on the largest screen in the Netherlands.
Duel on Water 3D is an official Cinemec Digital presentation; the distribution rights in the Benelux are managed by Cinemec Digital.
