For our Friday screening of "The Blob", Geoffrey ran it using change-over on his pair of Eiki 5500 Xenons, which produce a bright, very stable image. Here they are with the cabling in place:
A special 'thank you' to David Lucidi for his efforts in creating posters and bringing the giant sacks of popcorn for our enjoyment. His daughter seemed to have a great time too; she got to use the hotel pool when she wasn't in watching films with us:
David also brought this strange creature, the 16mm Kalart-Victor model 25. Now, if one were to call a projector design "backwards", that would normally sound like an insult, but in this case, it's the truth. How about a film path that runs from the rear reel to the front?...
...and look at the gate area. The film veers sideways before hitting the pull-down. It's not a projector one would hand to a beginner in the hobby, but, that said, it produced a pretty image, as long as you survived threading it.
We all know what posters can cost when they are in good shape. Here's a fine example of monster-movie art:
"One day, all this can be yours!"...if you collect for as long as Dr. Caruso:
As always, little nuggets from the 8mm past on display at his table:

On we go, in a bit...more to come.

Where there's film, there's work to be done. Splicing, cleaning, winding...you know the routine:
Of course, some winding requires a bit more horsepower. Geoffrey's motorized 35mm Goldberg winder was definitely up to the task:
His portable (relatively speaking) 35mm projector is always a pleasure to look at, both mechanically and on the screen. Watch your fingers, though; a 16mm might give you a "nip", but a 35mm can cause real injuries if you are not paying full attention when using it:
A new friend joined us, a man known for all he does in restoring and re-issuing 3-D films, Bob Furmanek (right) here with John Capazzo:
As always, the search goes on for hidden treasure...
...or how about cheap treasure? Have WE got a DEAL for YOU!!! 5-dollar prints, how is it possible...
...get them while the gettin's good:
We mentioned popcorn earlier. David Lucidi, being the proud owner of a real commercial popper, always brings these giant sacks for our cinematic experience. We never run out of popcorn...

That's it for this one; more to come.

After dinner, the Saturday screening commenced. Beer, wine and soft drinks were procured, along with snacks and some home-made cakes. This would be the "Saturday Mix" of different reels, making for an eclectic evening full of surprises.
Before we started, Doug made a few remarks, summing up our good fortune in having gotten into the Shalimar on such short notice. Also, an announcement was made about a possible other festival, but I will leave it up to the parties involved to talk about that...
Some classic color cartoons are always welcome:
A film, however silly, near and dear to my (Danish) heart: an excerpt from "Reptilicus", the one and only monster movie ever attempted in my little land:
A great-looking "Little Shop of Horrors":
...and "The Addams Family", in keeping with the theme...
How about this one: a sound check film for the Elmo 1200 GS. It couldn't have found a better audience:
...a beautiful 35mm Bollywood trailer in glorious Tech-looking color:

A few more screen shots coming...

With Sunday, CineSea 20 was done. It was a show to look back on for several reasons: we had more attendees, we had a new home at the Shalimar, gotten, seemingly, against all odds...the mood was one of appreciation and optimism, seeing how we had weathered the storm and made ourselves comfortable in the new surroundings.
35 mm has gone from being a one-time attraction to being a regular part of the screenings (a big 'thank you' to Geoffrey for all that work) and we can only expect more wonderful showings in that regard. We can now say that we offer Xenon projection across the board, from Super-8, through 16 to 35.
Just to end, these images. Some stills of us crazies who keep coming to this little seaside town in 'Jersey, all for the love of film. Apologies for anyone (or anything) left out; rest assured you will eventually "make the picture".
A big "Farewell and See You" until CineSea 21 in the Spring; if you haven't been yet, start making plans and come join us:
As always, thank you for looking and reading.
Claus.
