After Dark: Motion Pictures

The warm glow of the projected image invites us to in-between worlds where imagination can roam and new perspectives on the world around us may emerge.

From early photographic experiments that led to the development of motion picture technologies to inventors that tested the potential of lasers for immersing viewers in a cinematic landscape, we invite you to bask in the glow of a few of the many forms cinema can take.
