CINEVENT 37 – Another weekend of classics!
May 27, 28, 29 & 30, 2005 will mark our 37th anniversary! CINEVENT is an annual gathering of fans of silent and early sound films, and of collectors of motion pictures and related items. Hundreds of fans attended last year’s convention to see screenings of many great (and/or rare) films of the past. Talk with others who share your cinematic interests, and visit the dealers rooms, where dealers fill over 170 tables full of film, videos & DVDs, sound recordings, posters, stills, lobby cards, books, autographs—everything imaginable associated with the movies.
