The 17th CineSea Film Collectors Gathering will take place in just two months. Our Friday Night Feature screening will be held on April 27th and the full day/night event is on Saturday, April 28th.
The CineSea gathering is completely dedicated to film. The weekend is spent watching, buying, selling, trading film and film equipment in gauges from 8mm to 35mm.
At CineSea 16 we had planned to showcase The Ohio Film Collector Exchange's custom-made 35mm portable projector, a system put together especially for CineSea. Unfortunately, hurricane damage in Florida delayed the manufacture at the time, but we are glad to announce that Terry Bange & Dave Baker will be premiering their 35mm system at this event!
Of course there will be tables full of film, but to me the most important part is that the weekend is spent in the company of like minded film enthusiasts. We talk about films all weekend and we watch films all weekend.
Part of what makes the weekend so enjoyable is the location. We are right next to a beautiful beach and near a great boardwalk!
CineSea was started back in 2009 by John Black & Shorty Caruso, who both felt strongly 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've never attended, please take a look at Claus Harding's write-up & pictures from CineSea 16, along with Todd Tuckey's video of an earlier event.
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 in the past have run as late as 2 AM. Bring what you'd like to show (just keep it under 20 minutes please!).
Last time more people than ever arrived on Thursday to help set up early, which allowed us to have a fun dinner and an impromptu screening on Thursday evening.
