I thoroughly enjoyed the day and also wish to thank David Tatham and his family & helpers for putting on such a great event - I could not get there until nearly 12 noon so missed some of the earlier shows but caught the Super 8 'scope show and Adrian's excellent Scopitone show and talk and both were excellent in content and presentation. Having watched amazed at Adrian's Scopitone films I now call Technicolor 'Tech-Nicker-Colour' instead as there was so much underwear and minimal beachwear in view worn by the dancing ladies in these very catchy 60's musical jukebox films. Certainly a fascinating genre to collect.

It was also a pleasure to chat with personal cine friends Bill Parsons and Nigel Lister, and meet up with Martin Dew for the first time too - not forgetting Ian, Keith & Raj, etc.

Purchase wise my main guage now is 35mm so buying a lovely full carrier bag of 35mm trailers for £20 (the equivalents on Super 8 would cost about £200) and a superb pair of 4000ft 35mm rewinds for £25 sealed the day as a great success for me - just those rewinds alone have since saved me so many trips from the shed back and forth to the cinema as my larger Rigbys can stay in the cinema permanently now.

Excellent quality and very keenly priced catering too - plus the free delicious cake and coffee (full size mug not a wibbly wobbly plastic cup) included in the £8 Special entrance price it made the day even more perfect.

Already counting down the days to next year's event in May 2018.

Which day in May will that be ? I hope it's not at the same time as the 9.5 International Festival.

Thanks, Kevin ! The 9.5 festival will be later in the month. So it will be possible to attend both 😀

Hello Tom

It's a new event in location and organiser team terms, but is named Big Screen Time Revival as it follows on from Geoff Wheeler's original Big Screen Time days he ran for many years until 2012.

I can only reiterate what everyone else has already said, but I'd also like to pass on my thanks to David Tatham and his family for organising this excellent event. What was particularly noticeable was how friendly the event was, also a tribute to David.

I particularly enjoyed the Movietone and docs show in the morning, a selection of Simon McConway's intriguing films, including an old Eumig promotion, the piece about Perry's and Derann, and the demise of the trams.

I had to leave by lunchtime, but I will definitely be staying for the whole gig in May.
