THE 52nd BFCC 21st October 2006
52nd BFCC VIDEO ON THE WEB This is quite a large file so viewing is only recommended for those with a fast video connection. Doug Meltzer from New York made his second visit to the BFCC and being a professional cameraman shot shot and edited this rather impressive video which has been made available on the web by Brad Miller who runs the exceptional 8mm Forum. The full programme can be seen by clicking on the two thumbnails below, but if you prefer the following is a short summary of the shows offered during the day.
2) Short history of Vitaphone including film and video clips - Ken Locke and Keith Wilton 3) "The Man Behind the Shield" - The film scores of MAX STEINER. Ken Locke and Keith Wilton presented an illustrated lecture with a host of film clips. 4) The 'Scope show with a DTS (Digital Theatre System) sync' pulse show of the opening sequence from 'Gladiator' (available from Derann). Super 8 DTS has never been demonstrated before at any UK convention and it was chosen for this event to follow on from the Vitaphone show earlier in the day. Sound on disc has been around since the dawn of the talkie as today's convention illustrated. 5) "CINEMA RETRO 70" - Super 8 cut-downs, trailers and adverts from the 70's. In conjunction with Dave Worrall's fabulous 'Cinema Retro' magazine. Plus all the usual BFCC attractions including two dealers rooms and the ever popular bring and buy. |
