“Forgotten Hollywood”- My First Visit to Capitolfest!
Manny P. here…
“`Due to the efforts of a number of friends and cinephiles, I will be making my first visit to Capitolfest, beginning Friday, August 8th. It’s taking place at the Capitol Arts Complex in Rome, New York.
“`Capitolfest is Central New York’s 35mm classic film festival, screening rarely-seen silent and early talking cinema from around the turn-of-the-20th Century into the late 1930s. Most of the movies are shown via 35mm films from archives such as the Library of Congress, Museum of Modern Art, George Eastman Museum and UCLA Film & Television Archive as well as prints from studios, such as Sony, Universal, Warner Brothers and Disney. For this year’s kick-off movie, they selected Ruggles of Red Gap, a 1935 comedy directed by Leo McCarey and co-starring Charles Laughton, Mary Boland, Charles Ruggles and Capitolfest tribute star — ZaSu Pitts.
“`On a personal note, I have been asked to be the Saturday luncheon speaker the event. And I am thrilled to debut my new hardcover book, Forgotten Hollywood: Beware of the Blog. My printers have assured me that they will overnight copies of my work to debut and autograph!
