3-D Space and Hollywood Entertainment invite you to a very special rare 3D screening of Charlie Victor Romeo, a uniquely disquieting performance film created entirely from the "black box" transcripts of real-life airline emergencies.

‍

These short and poignant vignettes of real-life peril are by turns distressing and quotidian- an anthology of last words and deeds whose specificity and urgency are made extraordinarily vivid by the stereoscopic intimacy.

‍

"When you board an airplane, who are those people in uniform to whom you entrust your life? What do they really do when things go horribly wrong? Derived entirely from the Cockpit Voice Recorder transcripts of six major airline incidents and accidents, Charlie Victor Romeo puts the audience inside the tension-filled cockpits of actual flights in distress, offering a fascinating portrait of the psychology of crisis and a person’s will to live to the last second." - Dekanalog

‍

“[This] chilling and groundbreaking production stretches the boundaries of film, theatre, and the traditional documentary with this stereoscopic 3-D film of a stage play that recreates transcripts word for word. CHARLIE VICTOR ROMEO transports film audiences into the best seats of the theatre and delivers the intensity and gut-wrenching emotion of these emergencies via the unique approach of live performance.”  - Shari Frilot, senior programmer Sundance Film Festival & New Frontier
