Terrific pictures Claus!
It was wonderful meeting Steve Osborne, James Savage and their families. Everyone was in high spirits at the group dinner and it's always fascinating to pick up little snippets of conversation involving prints, projectors and "remember that collector who...."
The evening screening: Steve brought two full reels of both new and rare Super 8 films, including gorgeous German sourced Disney prints and a must have trailer for "Ed Wood". Other 8mm and 16mm films screened included "So You Want an Apartment" one of the Joe McDoakes Behind the Eight Ball series, the monster film mash up "Rendezvous", a segment from an Alice Cooper concert and a hilarious short about one poor chap's misadventures with a pay toilet! The screenings went till 1 AM, finishing up with a beautiful print of "The Music Box".
As always, we toasted John Black for creating this super event.
Please make plans to join in on the fun when CineSea returns to Wildwood on Saturday October 13th.
The fine publication Classic Images kindly contributed samples for attendees.
Another view of the Fujica. Sorry Dino, this one isn't for sale. How else could I watch the Standard 8mm Derann feature print of Psycho that I picked up here?

I am sorry I missed seeing your Fujica in action, Doug; "Psycho" in Reg-8 with sound....wow.
CineSea is truly starting to feel like "family":
Saturday night meant the film dinner. Good fun, food and drink:
Then came the after-dinner screenings. We had excellent red wine, beer and soda to add to the festivities:
As Doug mentioned, an eclectic mix of films ran well into the night:
I came to CineSea rather broke, so I had sworn not to buy anything...yeah, right I went home even more broke, but with a nice 16mm print of "Freaks."
So there you have it. CineSea 5; a warm and wonderful gathering. PLEASE START MAKING YOUR PLANS NOW SO YOU CAN ATTEND ON OCTOBER 13. There were more of us this time, but given our love of the hobby, the convention room should have been packed. Do your very best to try to get to Wildwood in the fall.
See you by the sea....
Claus.
