XDC and Luxor Make Breakthrough in Russia With Scar 3D Playing on 33 Digital Cinema Screens

XDC Digital Content Lab mastered the Russian dubbed version of Scar 3D, Jed Weintrob’s horror film,

and prepared the digital copies distributed by Luxor on 33 digital cinema screens equipped with 3D

technology.

 

Moscow 2008 – Shown for the first time during the Cannes Film Festival 2007, Scar is a first-of-its kind 3D

movie. Moviegoers should brace themselves for an entirely new dimension in larger-than-life horror, shot entirely

with one vision: to create an amazing full 3D digital cinema experience. “We began working with Cinemavault

and Norman Twain Productions on the mastering of Scar during the last Cannes Film Festival, since XDC is the

Official Digital Cinema Partner,” said Fabrice Testa, VP Sales & Business Development of XDC, who continued

“We mastered different versions and produced different copies for European theatrical distribution. But, now,

with 33 digital cinema screens showing Scar in 3D stereoscopic format, it is really a breakthrough which is

happening in Russia, from the cinemas located closest to Europe in Moscow, to some located at the far east of

Russia in Asia.”

 

Kate Luchko, Deputy Director for Foreign Affairs of Luxor Group pointed out:” This release of Scar 3D is for

Luxor an important milestone in the digital cinema activities that we are developing in Russia. We are very happy

to work with the team of the XDC Digital Content Lab. They are providing very professional level of service.”

 

Cinemavault Releasing International represents the film in the international market and has also sold the film for

3D release to RCV for Benelux, Lusomondo for Portugal, Nu Metro for South Africa, Film Trade for Greece and

Scholar Multimedia for Taiwan. Negotiations are under way for Japan, France and the UK among others. “We’re

very excited that Luxor is the first territory to release the film,” says Ruby Rondina, Festivals & Publicity Manager

at Cinemavault Releasing. “We believe they can pave the way for successful distribution of this revolutionary

film.”
