Vintage Film Festival

Capitol Theatre, 20 Queen Street

Oct 12 2018 to Oct 14 2018

Region : Eastern Ontario     City: Port Hope

  •  Add to Calendar 2018-10-12 2018-10-14 America/Toronto Vintage Film Festival Twelve great movies from circa 1924 to 1960 plus a bonus film for weekend pass holders. The two silent films have live piano accompaniment! Full program details and tickets on-line. In 1992, a group of film enthusiasts involved in the restoration of the Marie Dressler house had a wild idea. Why not hold a festival showing the films in which Marie Dressler had starred? This seemingly fantastic idea grew into the present form in which we show a variety of films generally made before about 55-60 years ago. We will often, although not always, include a film starring Marie Dressler. The weekend is best enjoyed as an event and not just a collection of great movies. We start with a gala reception followed by two films.  Capitol Theatre, 20 Queen Street Cindy or Sarah Visitors Centre visitorscentre@porthope.ca
