Cinecon 45 Classic Film Festival in Hollywood is Coming!

Only one week until Cinecon 45 starts at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood, California. This is a classic film festival I have been attending for quite a few years now - five days in the dark watching silent, classic, and early sound films, many are rare and unseen for years - hurrah, that's what I love, the rarer the better. I am particularly interested in silent films from the teen era and very early silent films from the early 1900s. This festival is a great time, something I look forward to every year - movies and more movies!

Here's the film schedule for Cinecon 45.

So what's caught my eye - He Fell in Love With His Wife (1916), Larry Semon in Spuds (1927), De Luxe Annie (1918) starring Norma Talmadge, Paid to Love (1927), starring George O'Brien (oh yes!), Turn to the Right (1922), directed by Rex Ingram, Afraid to Talk (1932) starring Sidney Fox, Broadway Love (1918) starring Lon Chaney, Trial Marriage (1929) with Norman Kerry and Thelma Todd, Easy Living (1937) starring Jean Arthur and Ray Milland (I love them both), and YES, for us Mary Pickford fans The Dawn of a Tomorrow (1915) - just to name a few. There are lots of other silents, as well as pre-code and talkies from the 30s and 40s to be seen.
