Screening at Cinecon 48

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.

All films will be shown at Grauman's Egyptian Theater at 6712 Hollywood Boulevard, most in 35mm. Silent films feature live musical accompaniment.

We are pleased to announce our first two films

UPSTREAM (1927)
One of a number of American silents repatriated from New Zealand by the National Film Preservation Foundation, this previously "lost" John Ford film explores life among vaudevillians who reside in a theatrical boardinghouse and what happens when one of their number gets plucked from obscurity to play Hamlet on the London stage because of his family's respected name in theatrical history.

A collaboration of the New Zealand Film Archive / Ng a Kaitiaki O Ng a Taonga Whiti a hua, the American archival community, and the National Film Preservation Foundation. Preserved through a collaboration of Twentieth Century Fox and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Print courtesy of the Academy Film Archive.

As always films are listed here pending final clearance and are subject to change.
