I'm very excited about this news. As we have done for the past six shows, we will again be screening a film the night before the CineSea Film Collectors Gathering. This screening will take place at 7:30 PM on Friday, April 27th at the Ocean Holiday Resort in Wildwood Crest, New Jersey.

What's different this time is the screening will be in 35mm....and 3D! David Baker & Terry Bange of The Ohio Film Collector Exchange will be premiering their new portable 35mm projection system at CineSea and to make the occasion even more memorable, they have offered to screen their stunning print of the 1953 sensation House of Wax! This print was struck in 1981 for the polarized 3D re-release.

For this special occasion we're departing from our usual procedure of choosing the Friday Night Feature (submissions followed by on line voting). We will return to that method for CineSea 18. So please join us in Wildwood for House of Wax on Friday night (bring your paddleballs) and spend Saturday browsing the dealers' tables and watching film!

Admission is free.

Thank you for the link Bob! I've gone to the 3-D Film Archive site many times and I think the Blu-Ray 3-D Rarities release is amazing.

I hope you'll come to CineSea!

Doug, will we be able to submit film shorts in 35mm for the Saturday show?

Posted by Douglas Meltzer (Member # 28) on March 26, 2018, 09:43 AM:

Definitely! We will be using Terry & David's projector for the Saturday Night show. Usual rules apply....A running time of 20 minutes or less, please.

8 and Super 8 also, right? - Shorty

Posted by Douglas Meltzer (Member # 28) on March 26, 2018, 10:19 AM:

Shorty,

For the first time we'll have Standard 8mm, Super 8mm, 16mm & 35mm projectors side by side. Can someone bring their 9.5?

It'll be like having five different types of pancakes at Uncle Bill's!

Congratulations to all involved in pulling off what must surely be a remarkable first at a film collecting convention! Portable 35mm is impressive enough but portable 35mm 3D is something else! Is it a print of the type that has under/over images split via a lens, or will two 35mm projectors be locked in sync?

Posted by David Baker (Member # 3259) on March 27, 2018, 01:22 PM:

Adrian
The print we will be presenting in 3-D is an original Fuji , side by side ( left & right ) , 1 - strip version from the 1981 theatrical re-release .

The projector is a De-Vry XD 35mm projector with reverse scan for Dolby stereo sound. Also modified with a 1000 Watt xenon lamp house.

It weighs 170 lbs +. Height 51 1/2" to top of feed magazine. Width 10 3/4". Length 26 1/2" .

We do have 2 of these , which can be programed to work together .
We are only bring one of them , along with the power pack for the Xenon lamp and our 6 channel Dolby sound system .

I plan to be there and have a bunch of goodies to sell as well as view, with the possible new 35mm Serial after we finish the Crimson Ghost!!!!! [Smile]

Posted by Joe Caruso (Member # 11) on March 27, 2018, 03:43 PM:

Adrian, come on over and bring our fellow chaps too - All most welcome! - Cheers, Shorty

Posted by Nicole Tucky (Member # 5587) on March 27, 2018, 03:45 PM:

Did someone say "CRIMSON GHOST"!?!? My favorite!

Posted by Joe Caruso (Member # 11) on March 27, 2018, 04:03 PM:

No, Tam's got you beat, she screams at the action - My right now can tell the tale - Shorty

In case you plan on attending the Friday evening 35mm / 3-D presentation of HOUSE OF WAX-

We are using polarized 3-d glasses .

There should be some in supply , but if you have a favorite pair , bring them along .

I can tell you , this is going to be a spectacular event for Cinesea !

COME AND MAKE HISTORY WITH US !!

Posted by Douglas Meltzer (Member # 28) on March 27, 2018, 09:54 PM:

I believe David is being cautious in case we get a much bigger turnout than anticipated.

David, Are all 3D polarized glasses the same?

Doug

Posted by David Baker (Member # 3259) on March 27, 2018, 10:40 PM:

Doug -
Not all 3-D glasses are the same .

The most common variety are polarized 3D glasses. It was Edwin Land who introduced polarized 3D images into films in 1936. They work the same way as anaglyphs, deceiving the eyes into seeing only one 3D image by restricting the amount of light that enters the eyes, but this time in general. The screen presents two images though orthogonal polarizing filters which are likewise contained in the 3D glasses themselves. As opposed to the red and cyan lenses of anaglyph glasses, these have a yellowish-brown tint.
Orthogonal Lens Filters operate by filtering light in a number of ways. Linear , circular and elliptical .
We are using " passive " 3-D Polarized glasses , not Anaglyph or shutter glasses .

David, please print out a history of your 35 achievement, would like to keep in my files - Shorty

Posted by Guy Taylor, Jr. (Member # 786) on March 29, 2018, 04:48 PM:

I am not going to make it but if I could I still don't think I could fit my 15/70mm IMAX projector in the trunk of my Mustang.

Posted by Douglas Meltzer (Member # 28) on April 18, 2018, 09:08 AM:

I'm looking forward to seeing the Thursday arrivals in just 8 days!

We've got tons of 3D glasses....please join us on Friday evening for House of Wax and add to your film collection on Saturday!
