Sun, 3 August 2008  One of the oldest gathering of film fans in the U.S., the annual Labor Day party known as Cinecon is soon to take place. I'm finally paying Cinecon their due and have a really fun interview with Stan Taffel and Bob Birchard to talk all about it. To learn more on how to become a Cinephile, please visit their website, www.cinecon.org.Comments[2] |
Mon, 9 June 2008  Every season I look forward to speaking with Stephen Salmons about the annual San Francisco Silent Film Festival. Needless to say, I also enjoy attending the festival, it's like going to the movies with 1200 of my closest friends. Held at the Castro Theater in San Francisco, this year's festival is a terrific line up and I encourage anyone who is local to the Bay Area, or not, to try and make it. I always have terrific fun speaking with Stephen and appreciate the time he has given for the last 3 years of interviews. It's a tradition I hope we can continue. True art does transcend time! See you at the Castro in July! Comments[1] |
Tue, 8 April 2008  If you love to laugh, then Slapsticon is the festival for you. They will provide you with chuckles, guffaws, chortles, wheezes and some polite snickering, to boot. The 6th annual festival in Alexandria, Virginia will be held July 17th through 20th at the Spectrum. In this episode, I have the pleasure of speaking with two of the founders (shakers and movers) Rob Farr and Richard Roberts. They're a barrel of laughs, too! Please note, at the end of the show, I made an error of remembrance (no surprise there) - Richard's forthcoming book is on Hal Roach (Langdon comes along later, or so we're told) - sorry bout that!
