Open daily from 13:00 to 19:00 (closed on Mondays).<br><br>The International Film Festival Rotterdam has brought cinema to the large screen. We think that the intimacy of small mobile screens are giving new impulses to the cinematic experience. V2_ will present a series of films and animations small enough to watch in the palm of your hand.<br><br>Acquaint yourself with a new 3D film experience on the iPhone or iPad at the Palm Top Theater exhibition. V2_ initiated a workshop for students to produce specific content for this simple but efficient device for 3D viewing. Also artists were invited to come up with special productions for the device. All of this can be viewed at the Palm Top Theatre exhibition at V2_. Allready <b>1 miljon viewers</b> have been looking at the introduction movie V2_ launched on YouTube for this exhibition - <a href="http://www.v2.nl/events/palm-top-theater">http://www.v2.nl/events/palm-top-theater</a><div>The exhibition will travel to different cities around the world and produce new content at each location. Part of the exhibition will also become part of the exhibition <i>"Otherworldly" </i> of the Museum of Art and Design in New York.<br><br>Visitors will experience film and animation in a way that is strikingly similar to pre-cinema, when watching a moving image was an intimate and individual experience. At the same time, the Palm Top Theater will offer a glimpse of a cinema of the future in which the developments in mobile communication technology and the changing roles of users and producers will have a profound effect on the future of cinema.<br><br><i>New artworks for the Palm Top Theater exhibition have been developed by the following artists: Joost Rekveld (NL), Geert Mul (NL), Lia (AT), Arno Coenen (NL), and Lina Kusaite (BE) together with Performing Pictures (BE/SE).<br><br>Thanks very much to our workshop leaders: Kasper van der Horst and Denise Pakes.
