Vintage silent movies and the KFJC Psychotronix Film Festival return to the San Francisco Bay Area and start December with a bang: silents on December 1, a week later at Foothill College, the KFJC Psychotronix Film Festival.
Tomorrow, December 1, the San Francisco Silent Film Festival returns with A Day Of Silents.
The program at the spectacular Castro Theatre begins early in the morning with a Laurel & Hardy program and continues throughout the day. Among a bunch of incredible classic movies, the program's piece-de-resistance is the hit late silent from Fox, 7th Heaven, the very definition of a "no dry eye in the house" tearjerker.
Jam-packed with Frank Borzage's roving camera, unabashed romanticism and blazing cinematic brilliance, 7th Heaven is just one of several pairings of Janet Gaynor and Charles Farrell (who TV-watching baby boomers know quite well from his role 25 years later on the Gale Storm sitcom My Little Margie). For more info, check out the San Francisco Silent Film Festival website and peruse the complete schedule.
FINALLY, at long last, the KFJC Psychotronix Film Festival is back! The news provokes a big time hallelujah from this writer, who has much missed doing big screen extravaganzas with his friends and colleagues, archivist/projectionists Sci Fi Bob Ekman, Scott Moon and host Robert Emmett from KFJC.
We shall bring to Foothill College's unsuspecting room 5015 that certain KFJC Psychotronix Film Festival trademark tsunami of Scopitones, Soundies, trailers, cartoons and vintage snack bar ads. Can't wait - and thank you again, Judy Zillen, for the fabulous graphics in today's post!
