John Black checking out a 16mm print of “A&C Meet Frankenstein”……
…..while Claus watches a Super 8mm release of “The Blue Angel”.
The projectors were rolling constantly. Buyers could check out the films before purchasing.
Lou Franchetti (right) always brings stacks and stacks of films, both 16mm & Super 8mm. I picked up some great prints from him this time, including a 16mm copy of “Warlords of Atlantis” with beautiful color. I’m working on getting Lou to post a sale list on this Forum.
Shorty models the extremely rare Blackhawk Films windbreaker!
I had a terrific time. Better hotel, nicer location (right by the beach!) and the dealer space was huge. After a group dinner on Saturday, some collectors had arrived late so John reopened the dealer space and there were films being sold into the night!
On a serious note, I wish more Forum members had been there to show their support for John’s tremendous undertaking. Come on, folks! How often does a film convention that features 8mm happen in the States? We’ve talked about this for years and John is the one who finally made it happen. He’s already considering putting together one more convention in October, and I believe we need to show that we’re really committed to this.
I’m looking forward to seeing Claus’ super 8mm footage. We’ll post it here, just like the BFCC video.

At last, my terribly disfigured and horrendous face is displayed for shuddered eyes to cover...ah...Now on to the bad part, I'm STILL ugly - The best part is that without John's efforts, there would be no show and we collectors would never have the opportunity to meet and deal - This shows John Black cares alot about filma nd all of us - next show is for October, first weekend I think - Let's try and get this one really off the ground and catapult into major gatherings with collectors/dealers world-wide - Film production began in Jersey, so why not celebrate this continually with fine expos as John Black offers? Where else can you find a diversity of gauges in film and a splendid array of the best people, friends and new-friends alike, fun and much to discuss - I had a ball and wish it was longer, with all our support, this very well could happen - Stay up, stay tuned and we'll tell all the latest news for the next showtimes - Bring your films to show and sell, this is one you won't want to miss - Shorty
