In John’s words:
“What is it?
It is an event that is solely for film collectors. All gauges will be represented. No more will you have to fight past crowds surrounding a washed up 70s sitcom star, or pass miles of dealer tables filled with action figures, toys and other items unrelated to film. This is about 8mm, 16mm, 35mm film and equipment. It’s a chance for collectors to get together for a weekend of buying, swapping showing and talking about films. This will be the only such show in the US.”

John went to great lengths to organize three film collectors conventions. Special thanks to Shorty Caruso, Lou Franchetti, and Steve Klare for getting this one off the ground. If any other Forum members can help in getting the word out, we'd appreciate it greatly. As Shorty wrote “This show will have a special meaning for us and collectors who knew Blackie – It would be great to sit around dinner and tell stories about him, he'd get a kick from that.”
This show is not only dedicated to John, but to everyone out there who enthusiastically threads up projectors and sets up screens!
One more quote from Mr. Black: “This show is being done for all of us still hanging onto our collection of films and equipment. It’s a great way to get to know each other and pick up some bargains. No bidding up, no last minute sniping, see the film before you buy it! We will be screening film all night long! This is a very non-formal show, so if you want to run one of your films, go ahead! If you feel the need to escape for a few hours, Atlantic City is 30 minutes away. We will be oceanfront, so enjoy the ocean right out the door. The only rule of this show is to have fun!"
See you there!
