Cinecon 43 In Hollywood
By Bob Birchard,
President, Society for Cinephiles/Cinecon
The Society for Cinephiles will present the 43rd annual Cinecon classic film festival and memorabilia show in Hollywood over Labor Day weekend, August 30 through September 3, 2007. Cinecon is the oldest and the grandest of the movie related fan festivals, and Cinecon 43 promises to offer an outstanding five day program of unusual films, exciting celebrity guests and one of the best movie memorabilia marts in the nation.
Special guests will be announced as confirmed.
We also want to call attention to the dealers' rooms where collectors will find one of the best movie memorabilia marts in the country.
This year's host hotel will again be the Renaissance Hollywood Hotel located at 1755 North Highland Avenue next to the Hollywood and Highland entertainment complex. As in recent years all film screenings will be held in the Lloyd E. Rigler Theatre at the restored Grauman's Egyptian on Hollywood Boulevard.
