The next CineSea Film Collectors Weekend is fast approaching!
Starting with the Friday Night Feature screening on the evening of October 12th and continuing with the full day/night event the next day, this will be the eighteenth show we've held in Wildwood, New Jersey. As always, there will be be tables packed with film & equipment in gauges from 8mm to 35mm.
CineSea has always been more of an intimate gathering than a convention. It's basically a group of people getting together to share their love of film. For me, the best parts are hanging out and talking about film with fellow collectors for an entire weekend, along with going out for as many group breakfasts and dinners as possible!
If you've never attended, please take a look at Steve Klare and Mike Lattavo's CineSea 17 saga, Claus Harding's write-up & pictures from CineSea 16, along with Todd Tuckey's video of an earlier event.
John Black & Shorty Caruso started CineSea back in 2009. They felt that the film collector deserves an affordable show (Admission is free!) to both promote camaraderie and keep this hobby going. If you have film or equipment to sell, 6 foot dealer tables are available for only $20. You can rent as many as you like. Lou Franchetti and his son will be there with stacks of 8mm and 16mm. To reserve a table you can email/PM myself or Lou. If you'd like a table please let us know, since we actually reached our limit last time. There was no room for another table, unless we put it out on the beach. Beach? Did I mention that we are right next to a beautiful beach and near a great boardwalk?
As for that Friday night screening, if you're going to join us and have a print you'd really like to show, we'll soon be asking you to list the title/format here and we'll have an online survey to pick the winner. Our last screening was a spectacular 35mm print of House of Wax in amazing 3D! Thanks again to Terry and Dave of The Ohio Film Collector Exchange for providing us with that along with their 35mm projector!
The Saturday show starts at 10 AM and many, many projectors will be running non-stop and many, many films will trade hands right up to the group dinner. Upon our return we start our Saturday night screenings, which have run as late as 2 AM. Bring what you'd like to show (under 20 minutes, please!).
Recently, more and more people have been arriving on Thursday to help set up, go out to dinner and then screen whatever we feel like! If you can make it a day early, please come!
