Held annually for over half a century, Cinecon has taken place each Labor Day weekend at Hollywood's Egyptian Theatre prior to the COVID pandemic in 2020-2021, during which an online version was screened, and at other venues since its resumption as a live event. I have been attending regularly since 2012 and recording my thoughts each time:
The historic Castro Theatre has been the venue for the San Francisco Silent Film Festival for over two decades. I attend whenever I can, making my first visit in 2012.
After a tour of the filming locations - including the site of the famous train bridge collapse - we viewed the film with a newly composed accompaniment. It was a real treat!
