CineSea 14: October21- 23rd 2016! Ocean Holiday Hotel, Wildwood, New Jersey
December 2009, Film Collector’s Club International meets for the First Time at the Bolero Hotel in Wildwood New Jersey. Later on this was renamed “CineSea 1”.
A great weekend is coming your way in exactly one month! Here is the chance to spend time away from your daily grind: to relax among friends enjoying something really great!
Since that first frosty weekend in December, 2009, CineSea has been gathering film collectors from near and far and just for a few short days at a time building a community of small gauge film collectors: we come, we schmooze, we watch, we eat, we buy, sell and trade, we pack up and leave. (Don’t blink: it’s gone as quickly as it arrived!). During those couple of days we make friends, we learn from each other, we relax and have what used to be called “good, clean fun”.
May, 2010: Lou Franchetti at our new Venue, the Ocean Holiday Motor Inn. We are not called CineSea yet, but this would be called “CineSea 2” soon.
The “Official” CineSea is Saturday: all the way from breakfast up the boardwalk until the big screen finally goes dark in the weary hours of Sunday (-so late, some might call it “early”!). There’s breakfast and dinner, there’s film sales all day and there’s a dueling Super-8/16mm show of short films after dinner at a nice local restaurant.
-but there’s more to this than just the official! Friday night we have a feature film that is voted in by the audience. There is breakfast out Sunday morning. Some even come on Thursday for a day of ocean breezes, peace and quiet! In a real sense it doesn’t end until Claus Harding’s photo essay is complete: it’s all part of the tradition.
October 2012: Dino Everette in the booth at the Sea Theater, CineSea 3.
There’s an atmosphere during CineSea that’s tangible. It’s the enthusiasm of a bunch of film collectors concentrated in one place. As much as I surround myself with films and machines back at the house, I’ve never really felt it as much on my own: you need to be there.
May 2012: John Capazzo talks film with Steve Osborne at CineSea 5.
The Ocean Holiday is nobody’s Waldorf Astoria: no, it’s much better than that! It is friendly and comfortable, yet clean and affordable too. It’s a staircase and a short walk between your room and the main goings-on in the Hospitality Room, and the view off the upper deck goes great with a cup of coffee.
October 2013: A hearty breakfast before a Saturday of Film, CineSea 8.
So, if you’ve never been, please think about it. Depending on where you start out, this could be anything from an hour Saturday afternoon to a week on the Jersey Shore. For we regulars, part of the joy of it is meeting new people, so we like to encourage people to beam down from cyberspace and step out into the three dimensional world of film collecting for a weekend with us.
A great weekend is coming your way in exactly one month!
