Just one month away, the 11th CineSea show will take place in Wildwood, New Jersey.
CineSea is all about film and film equipment. It's an intimate gathering of kindred spirits who talk about, watch, buy, sell, and trade films.
For those who haven't attended, Claus Harding's pictures from CineSea X will give you a very good idea what we're about. There will be be tables full of film & equipment in gauges from 8mm to 35mm. It's the perfect event for sellers since tables are only $20 and every person in the room is a collector (or a very tolerant friend or family member). It's also the perfect event for buyers since the prices are low and you can screen any film that you'd like to purchase!
The show starts on Saturday April 25th at 10 AM. I've lost count of the number of projectors that are running simultaneously. Everywhere you turn a print is being shown. In the early evening we all head out for a group dinner (always a highlight), then the screening starts and keeps on going and going. Last time we wrapped up at 1 AM.
Now's a good time to thank John Black and Shorty Caruso, who started CineSea with the idea that the film collector deserves an affordable show to pick up films, promote camaraderie and to keep this hobby going!
If possible, please try to arrive on Friday. Projectors will be set up in the evening and we'll have an informal screening.

No Roger,
What I am saying is if you can round up enough Western US collectors willing to converge on some central place (Granted: a lot harder out West...), you can make your own!
CineSea started out with nothing more than a post on this Forum to see if anybody at all would join in:
A Film Convention in Wildwood, NJ, any Interest?
By the way: this doesn't have to be several dozen people at a hotel. We have much smaller gatherings (maybe four or five) at someone's home and they're nice too.
If you do make your way to Wildwood, I'm betting you'll be glad you did!

All I ask is a wide screen and a projector to light her by...
