Attention classic-film buffs and TCM junkies:
Since FILM FREAK CENTRAL is technically a Canadian website, based in southern Ontario, I wanted to take this opportunity to tell you about the 27th annual Port Hope Vintage Film Festival. Running from September 27-29, it’s a rare opportunity to see classic films–such as Top Hat, Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein, and La Belle et La Bête (the theme for 2019 is, you guessed it, Famous Cinematic Duos)–on the big screen, at Port Hope’s gorgeous Capitol Theatre (pictured above). Proceeds go to the Marie Dressler Foundation, which is raising money this year to provide bursaries for local high-school students. There’s even going to be a silent auction where you can bid on movie memorabilia and other ephemera–including some DVDs that may or may not have been donated by yours truly. Further details here!-Ed.
