Flying Down To Rio (1932) - In 1932 Pathe Pictorial included a series of items listed as “the full and exclusive story of a trip in the giant Graf–Zeppelin from Friedrichschafen to far off Rio De Janeiro”. The 5000 mile journey was covered in four different issues of the weekly film magazine and included shots from the airship as well as interiors showing travellers relaxing and the crew working. This reel issued on 17.5mm in 1935 seems to have been compiled from that source.
Pathetone no 509 (1934) - One of many Pathetone Weekly reels which appeared on 17.5mm. This one includes ‘Skylarks – a study in high life’, ‘Can a wrestler beat a boxer?’, Captain Olsson’s Merry Sprites and comedian Robb Wilton in his sketch ‘The Lion Hunter.’
Hopefully a rarity…… before finishing with
I Heard (1938) – The miners at the Never Mine go to Betty’s Tavern for lunch. Later she goes down the pit and confronts some unfriendly ghosts. They are playing baseball with a bomb which is thrown at Betty. She escapes with assistance from Bimbo and Koko, but the explosive goes off underground, sending the ghosts to the graveyard. Don Redman & his band play Chant of the Weed, I Know a Girl Named Betty Boop, How’m I Doin? and I Heard.

Sunsilk,
Cadbury Flake,
Angel Delight,
Anadin
Trailers/Promos
(Col) Swiss Family Robinson (1960) – Promo - A family on route to New Guinea is shipwrecked on a deserted tropical island. They create a home on the island and explore the island and its wildlife. Gripping scenes with an elephant and tiger.
(Col) Monkeys Go Home (1967) – Promo - Henry Dussard, a young American, inherits a picturesque but badly neglected olive farm in southern France and is determined to make it operational again. Desperate for labourers, the inventive Dussard turns to the zaniest crew of olive pickers ever recruited - four mischievous monkeys! As former members of an Air Force space team, these intelligent chimps quickly pick up on their new responsibilities - but prove to have a turbulent effect on the local townspeople.
(Col) Wahoo Bobcat (1963) – Trailer - From Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Colour Series: Season 10, Episode 4. The Wahoo Bobcat is introduced here by Walt Disney himself. As this is a TV spot, look out for where to place the advert!
The Main Show
(Col) News Pictorial EEC (1972) – Britain joins the EEC! Winston Churchill; 1951 – 6 Countries – Treaty of Paris; 1957 – Treaty of Rome; 1972 – 9 countries – Edward Heath; Concorde; Fanfare for Europe; Veteran Car Drive into Europe; Hampton Court Palace; New Year celebrations.
(B/W) Glad Rags to Riches (1933) – Shirley Temple plays a cabaret singer and dancer at a nightclub. It is the kids who rule the world. Shirley Temple and the cast obviously don't realise they're spoofing adult films with the same stories. The early cinema showed short films like this before the major presentation instead of commercials.
(Col) Birds, Bees and Storks (1965) – From the Gerard Hoffnung (musical comedian) stable and narrated by Peter Sellers; a naïve father makes an embarrassing attempt to explain the facts of life to his son, but he becomes increasingly embarrassed to the point where his explanations are so vague as to be incomprehensible. Don’t miss the funny twist at the end.
(B/W) Destry (1954) – After the local sheriff dies under mysterious circumstances2, Decker arranges to have the town drunk appointed sheriff, thinking he will be ineffectual. But the new sheriff sends for Tom Destry, son of a famous two-fisted lawman, to be his deputy. When Tom arrives, he isn't exactly the swaggering he-man the sheriff had in mind. In fact, Destry doesn't even carry a gun. But the new deputy's mild exterior masks a fierce determination to see justice done, as Decker and the other locals soon discover.
(Col) The Empire Strikes Back (1980) – Original edition. The Rebel base on the icy planet Hoth is under attack by the Empire; Han, Leia, Chewbacca, and C-3PO flee across the galaxy from the Empire. This complete extract shows Luke being rescued, the attack of the Hoth system and the Imperial invasion, ends with the escape of Han Solo and Luke Skywalker.

Great day there today, good to see some forum members (Dominique, Adrian, Nigel etc) and Keith Wilton plus many others who said hello. Good film shows and equipment on show and many bargains to be had. Here are some pictures.
Posted by Mark Mander (Member # 340) on May 14, 2018, 05:03 AM:
Thanks for those pictures Brian,I had a great time too and picked up quite a few films,saw part of the first film show then my son and I had to leave unfortunately,thanks David and all involved for another great event,Mark
Posted by Ian O'Reilly (Member # 76) on May 14, 2018, 05:32 AM:
Thank you David for a excellent convention. The Tom & Jerry Café serving very good food at very reasonable prices and I can honestly say having exhibited at many conventions over the last 35 years the café is by far the best.
Our takings on the day were up by 125% on the last convention, maybe something to do with the amount of 16mm that we took. Nice to see old faces and friends plus some new faces.
Posted by Can Sanalan (Member # 5988) on May 14, 2018, 05:56 AM:
Yes, Thank you David for orgainising the event.
It was my first time at one of these film conventions, and hopefully not my last, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Met some new people and for me it was interesting to see what others had for sale and what they collect.
I went in hoping to buy some 16mm features (only bought one, would of liked to have purchased more) but bought a lot of Super 8mm.
Quite looking forward to the next one now.
Thanks,
Best
Posted by David Hardy (Member # 4628) on May 14, 2018, 05:57 AM:
It is good to read there were some new faces there besides the old coffin dodgers as Derek Sharpe would say.
Sadly as i am not a rich man i don't get to any of these conventions as the cost of me getting there and back to Scotland far outweighs what i would have been able to spend on films.
Still it looks like everyone enjoyed the day.
Posted by Andrew Wood (Member # 5218) on May 14, 2018, 08:26 AM:
Congratulations David!
A brilliant organised and most enjoyable day - can’t wait for the next one!
Thank you for all of your hard work
Posted by Douglas Meltzer (Member # 28) on May 14, 2018, 08:47 AM:
It looks like a terrific event with a great film program. Congratulations to the organizers and the attendees.
Doug
Posted by Paul Adsett (Member # 25) on May 14, 2018, 10:17 AM:
Looks like a great event, and nice to see the master himself, Keith Wilton, in attendance and no doubt getting some ideas for his next film convention. ![[Smile]](smile.gif)
Posted by Nigel Higgins (Member # 4312) on May 14, 2018, 10:26 AM:
Great event it was well attended and good to see everyone old and new ,i sold a few bits which is also good .Nigel
Posted by Colin Fish (Member # 5679) on May 14, 2018, 01:27 PM:
A great day and nice atmosphere. Catering was a treat and film shows were fun. Well done to the top team who made it happen. Bring on the next one.
Posted by Adrian Winchester (Member # 248) on May 14, 2018, 10:39 PM:
My compliments also to David as it was a great day with some very unusual shows. And it was nice to see the 'UK premiere' screening of the 'Back to the Future' promo in the first show! The amount of film on sale was truly impressive and there were plenty of rare and unusual items at very reasonable prices. E.g. the Perry's stall had 200' releases for £5 and 400's for £8. You might expect faded, common titles for those prices, but I've just watched mint copies I bought of a Blackhawk release 'Dangerous Females' (a 1929 sound film) and Derann's 'Calling All Girls'. Nice to also see Renown Films there with some interesting oddities on 16mm. If you like to put something new through your projectors now and again, you can't really afford to not attend such events if you're within reach, because you return with a bag full of nice buys at a fraction of the cost that you would otherwise spend!
As others have said, the refreshments are exceptional, with a friendly team quickly preparing whatever you select from the impressive menu.
The only problem is that Sunday's event was only 8 months after the first one, but we will now have to wait a full year until the next one!
Posted by Brian Fretwell (Member # 4302) on May 15, 2018, 02:49 AM:
Hopefully the BFCC will be back in October so it will balance out nicely. Unfortunately I forgot to ask Keith how things were progressing with he school there for a date (the only thing wrong with the Big Screen Time for me is that as it is a primary, not secondary, school the seats are a little low for my 6'5" frame.
Posted by Dominique De Bast (Member # 3798) on May 15, 2018, 09:19 PM:
I certainly second all the well rewarded positive comments on this event ! And I was happy, too to see known and new faces.
Forum member Can Sanalan was the first to pass the doors this year.
This picture was, intentionnally, taken when there was not too many people to show the room and the material.
Posted by Dominique De Bast (Member # 3798) on May 16, 2018, 01:24 AM:
David Tatham announcing the super 8 show.
The GS is ready. (Sorry if my sentences are shorter and less poetic than Steve's...)
The owner replaced the original lamp by a HID 150 one. He changed the lampholder and added an external ballast without other "modofication".
Forum member Nigel Higgins was selling films in the main seller's room.
Sometimes, a school wall is enough to make the stars appear
Posted by Dominique De Bast (Member # 3798) on May 16, 2018, 01:24 AM:
Another seller projecting, in the second seller's room.
The 9.5 sound projector that was used for the 9.5 show.
The projections attracted interest !
A Siemens sound projector converted with success to 17.5 mm.
An interesting introduction has been made before the 17.5 show. I precise that 9.5 and 17.5 projections were held in a "small" room ans super 8 and 16 in a bigger one (with, of course, a bigger screen).
That was my last picture for this year
