Hi guys, here we go.
As usual, I'll post pics up to the limit, then someone else can post a quick note, and I can continue. That way everything is in one thread for reference.
Wildwood was on the cold side this time, but beautiful as always.
It never ceases to be like magic: this plain room becomes a haven for us for 2-3 days. If that isn't love of film, what is?
Doug's big screen and Gary Sloan's terrific sound system promised an excellent time:
We inaugurated the "Friday Night Feature" this time, and it was a great success. People arrived earlier, and we had an extra group dinner together with our good friend Simone in attendance:
Feature time! "The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad" in Super-8. The GS-1200 Xenon showed why it is one of the "kings of projectors" here, with a tremendous, sharp image on the big screen, and excellent sound through Gary Sloan's JBL/subwoofer combo. Sinbad and company should look this good all the time:
Come Saturday, the room filled up with....well, everything film :-)
As usual, our late friend John had his table 'in memoriam':
That is it for this time; when someone comments I can continue.

The thing is you have absolutely no idea what's going to be available until you get there, so it's a complete surprise. I've left CineSea with one or two OKish reels, but more than a few times come home with really neat films.
Last Fall I was thumbing through the Blackhawk Laurel and Hardies. I saw "Unaccustomed as We Are". I said (to myself)"Yeah, another silent..." but saw an 880 code (Sound!). I looked inside, saw it was striped and felt a little light headed!
You see, I'd been looking for one of these for years and had actually given up on it! I wondered if somebody was playing a cruel joke on me, but it is the genuine article.
This time I left with Fantasia 2000, a film I've wanted since Derann days!
I can say for a fact I left a few behind I hope to see again next time: the selection was that good! I don't think I've not bought a film I liked since could buy them out of a catalog.
-bearing in mind too: I don't collect 16mm (so far...) and the bulk of the films there are 16, so it's even better for 16mm Folk.

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

A mea culpa for not introducing Jeffrey's beautiful companion Laurie yet; here she is in the fine company of Shorty:
With Saturday night came the group dinner, a.k.a. the CineSea Summit, at the Two-Mile Restaurant. Good food, good company:
Then it was screening time. Doug and Gary's Xenon machines took center stage to light up the screen:
A mix of films into the night, all beautifully presented:
"The Mummy"...Super-8, Xenon light...any questions? :-)
As Sunday came, the packing began; the last deals were made, and the talk was of "next time." We gathered for a couple of farewell shots:
And that was CineSea 11, as documented by your roving photographer :-)
The familiar plea: if you couldn't make it this time, come back again in the fall; if you have never been there yet, mark the dates and start planning. You don't know what you are missing. CineSea isn't fancy, but it is REAL.
Real as in: people come because they really want to, because of the friendly atmosphere, the unexpectedly great film selection, the dinner(s)...think of us as a social club full of film nuts, and you won't be half wrong.
Thanks for looking and reading; see you at CineSea 12.
Claus.
