Rethinking the Dark Sky Background: Why Opting for Brightness Over Contrast Can Enhance Your Theater Experience

Presentation theme: fulldome
Well-documented perspective from a fulldome filmmaker, projection technology expert, and former head of programming and education at the Montreal Planetarium, who argues that a bright planetarium is more beneficial for awe, education, and entertainment than a theater with a dark sky background.
