Capitolfest 13
Favs/dislikes: 1:0. Capitolfest is Central New York's premier summer Cinephile film festival—a place to see rarely-shown and newly-discovered films of the silent and early talkie era, held at the historic 1,788-seat movie palace, the Capitol Theatre, in Rome, New York, which opened in December, 1928 as a movie house. Set in the small upstate New York city of Rome (population c.33,000) and regarded by attendees from the U.S., Canada, and Europe as the movie lover’s dream vacation, the weekend festival starts late Friday morning and ends early on Sunday evening. Screenings are arranged by session, with each session essentially comprised of a double feature plus short subjects. Each session contains intermissions and there are generous breaks between sessions (allowing for meals) as well. The philosophy of Capitolfest is that there should be time to savor the films, thus our slogan, “A vacation, not a marathon.” -
Olympic Theatre Films
Favs/dislikes: 1:0. The Olympic Theatre is a moderate-sized theater located in Cicero, Illinois. The facade is understated neoclassical and the interior is reminiscent of French Renaissance. It opened in 1927, originally as a ballroom. In 1937, it had been converted into a movie house, and remained so until closing in 1993, after falling in disrepair. This is a list of every film advertised in the Chicago Tribune from the theater's opening till (eventually) its close, in chronological order. The opening date was Friday, November 19, 1937 at 5 PM, with a double bill of You Can't Have Everything and San Quentin. I have guessed at some shorts, as they were only advertised vaguely. It was my family's hometown theater and this is my tribute to it. Still WIP (Current up to March 5, 1939) -

Favs/dislikes: 1:0. Cinecon is highly regarded among film fans for screening the rare and unusual films of the silent and early sound era—films that seldom get seen on a big screen. Cinecon combs the major film archives and Hollywood studio vaults to select often forgotten gems that deserve a fresh look and reappraisal. At Cinecon there is something for everyone—comedy, drama, musicals, Westerns. We show the latest restorations—and some one-of-a-kind rarities. -

Capitolfest 18 (2021)
Favs/dislikes: 1:0. Capitolfest 18 After a very challenging year for all of us, Capitolfest will return on August 13, with a program similar to the one that was planned for 2020. Capitolfest, now in its 18th edition, is held at the historic 1,788-seat movie palace, the Capitol Theatre, in Rome, New York. The Capitol was built as a movie house and opened December 10, 1928 with an all-movie program including the First National feature, Lilac Time. The Capitol Theatre remains the only building in Rome, N.Y. (population c.32,000) constructed for the specific purpose of exhibiting motion pictures. Although the theatre received a Modernistic face-lift in 1939, the auditorium is configured exactly as it was in 1928, and much of the original décor remains. Also still in place is the theatre’s 3-manual, 10-rank Möller theatre organ, which has recently been the recipient of some major restorative work. The staff and board of directors of the Capitol is particularly excited to announce that the Capitol building is currently undergoing a complete restoration to its 1939 appearance, and Capitolfest 18 will be one of the first events in the newly refurbished movie house. Most of the films at the Capitol are shown in 35mm prints on the theater’s carbon-arc, variable-speed projectors. The prints for the movies shown at Capitolfest come from archives such as the Library of Congress, George Eastman Museum, Museum of Modern Art, UCLA Film & Television Archive, and Universal Pictures, as well as from private collections. The festival includes several extremely rare talking films, as well as some equally rare silents. Each of the silent films will be accompanied by some of the world’s foremost exponents of authentic silent movie accompaniment. The goal of the Capitol Theatre is not only to show these vintage films, but also to re-create the experience of seeing these movies when they were new. This year’s festival will include A Tribute Constance & Joan Bennett, showcasing several of their films. hide Back this year is the Capitolfest dealers room, featuring films, dvds, laserdiscs, autographs, posters, books, and other memorabilia, which will be open throughout the weekend. At the time of this writing it is not entirely known what sort of restrictions (if any) there may be due to the Covid situation. Consequently, plans for a the mixer will be announced at a later date but, assuming there is a mixer this year, it will be on Thursday, August 12th from 5:30 to 7:30 pm for Capitolfest attendees (an RSVP will be requested) as well as a dealers room grand opening from 5:30 to 7:30. (It is quite possible the mixer will be held entirely outdoors this year, weather permitting.) There will also be a screening on Thursday at 7:30 of a Joan Bennett “war horse” t.b.a.; this movie is free to Capitolfest attendees. Regarding the possible restrictions that may be in place in the Capitol Theatre auditorium and, assuming we are permitted even 33% attendance (which we are confident we will be), there should be no difficulty in accommodating all of those persons who wish to attend this year’s show. (Also, if necessary, we can maintain the six-foot distance rule within the 1,788 seat auditorium, even if we have 500+ patrons in attendance.) A full list of any restrictions will be made available well in advance of the show. Capitolfest differs from other classic movie festivals in its leisurely pacing. There are intermissions within each session (featuring live organ music) and relatively lengthy breaks between sessions, allowing attendees to savor the films. (Thus our slogan: “A vacation—not a marathon.”) Approx. 90% of Capitolfest attendees come from out of town but, whether you are local or travel hundreds of miles, we want you to feel that the Capitol is your theater. As always, Capitolfest organizers would be more than happy to provide interested parties with more information. Updates can be found on the Capitol’s website at www.romecapitol.com, and there is an on-going discussion on the Capitolfest Facebook page. Best Wishes, Art Pierce Executive Director -

The goal of the Capitol Theatre is not only to show these vintage films, but also to re-create the experience of seeing these movies when they were new. This year’s Capitolfest features a tribute to sometime star and frequent supporting actor, Robert Armstrong (1890-1973), showcasing him in several movies from the silent and talkie era. Hero, villain, nice guy or cad, Robert Armstrong was a fixture in Hollywood A and B features (as well as television) in five different decades. Back this year is the Capitolfest dealers room, featuring films, dvds, laserdiscs, autographs, posters, books, and other memorabilia, which will be open throughout the weekend.

Cinecon 58 (2022)
Favs/dislikes: 1:0. WHAT IS CINECON? If you’ve never been to a Cinecon you might ask “What’s it all about?” Well… Taking place in the heart of Hollywood, Cinecon is a five-day celebration of film – featuring screenings, celebrity guests, and other special programs. This Labor Day weekend, beginning Thursday night, September 1, and continuing through Monday afternoon, September 5, film fans attending the show will be treated to many rare features and shorts, and have an opportunity to join additional special programs unique to Cinecon.
