Not Too Far...
Capitolfest Film Festival - Rome, New York Capitolfest is Central New York's premier summer Cinephile film festival-a place to see rarely-shown and newly-discovered films of the silent and early talkie era, held at the historic 1,788-seat movie palace, the Capitol Theatre, in Rome, New York, which opened in December, 1928 as a movie house. To date, Capitol remains the only building in Rome (population c. 35,000) constructed for the specific purpose of exhibiting motion pictures. Although the theatre received an Modernistic face-lift in 1939, the auditorium is configured exactly as it was in 1928, and much of the original décor remains. |
Cinefest Film Festival - Syracuse, New York Put on by the Syracuse Cinephile Society, Cinefest is a "convention" style vintage festival spanning over four days in March. Along side the screening of many hard to find vintage films, Cinefest also invites dealers and merchants of movie memoribilia allowing patrons to browse for the latest.. "must-have" item. Definitely a worth while festival to take in. |
Cinevent Film Festival - Columbus, Ohio CINEVENT is a gathering of fans of silent and early sound films, and of collectors of motion pictures and related items. Movie screenings are available from mid-day Friday to mid-day Monday (with a few hours off to sleep!) each Memorial Day Weekend. Dealers fill over 170 tables full of film, video, sound recordings, posters, stills, lobby cards, books, autographs...everything imaginable associated with film. |

Cinecon Film Festival - Los Angeles, California Taking place in the heart of Hollywood, Cinecon is a five-day celebration of film featuring screenings, celebrity guests, and one of the best movie memorabilia shows in the country. CASABLANCA and GONE WITH THE WIND Great movies, but you won't see them at Cinecon. We specialize in running rare, unusual and unjustly forgotten movies from the silent and early sound era. Most films are screened in 35mm and silent films include live piano accompaniment. Cinecon is truly 7th Heaven for Cinephiles who have seen nearly everything TCM and AMC have to offer. |
