Lenny Lipton, Saturday Evening Keynote Speaker
Lenny Lipton has been a stereoscopic enthusiast his entire life. As a proponent of amateur filmmaking Lipton authored the books Independent Filmmaking (Simon and Schuster, 1972), The Super 8 Book (Simon and Schuster, 1975), and Lipton on Filmmaking (Simon and Schuster, 1979) which included the chapter "How to Make Your Own 3-D Movies." Lipton's 1982 book Foundations of the Stereoscopic Cinema: A Study in Depth (Van Nostrand Reinhold Company) is a definitive treatment of 3-D motion pictures and more recently he wrote The CrystalEyes Handbook (Stereographics, 1991).

Lipton formed Stereographics Corporation in 1980 to develop alternating-field 3-D video and computer technology and there developed the Z-screen, an electro-optical polarizing modulator that is the basis for the digital 3D cinema today. As a stereoscopic filmmaker, Lipton has produced his own independent 3-D films and worked professionally on the 3-D feature film Rottweiler 3-D (1981) and the promotional 3-D short Dimensions of Oldsmobile Quality (1981) as well as various stereoscopic video productions for Stereographics Corporation. In 2011 Lipton received the Lifetime Achievement Lumiere Award from the International 3D Society for his contributions to stereography.
