IT'S BACK TO THE CLASSIC LONE PINE FILMS FOR FESTIVAL 2004

By Chris Langley, Beverly and Jim Rogers Museum of Lone Pine Film History

A Remember the classic films of Lone Pine? These are the films we haven't screened in several Festivals. One of the themes of the fifteenth annual Lone Pine Film Festival is "Back to the Classics." So put October 8th, 9th, and 10th on your calendar now! What films are we planning to show? First, Gunga Din, and there is a newly restored version that we hope will be finished and available by the festival. If you have never seen The Round-Up, the first film we think that started it all, then that will be shown as well. That is the one that was Fatty Arbuckle's first feature role, a real change from the movies he had been making. We hope to have a couple of those wonderful color cinemascope epics and then some other films that we haven't shown in ten years. There are a lot to choose from. Finally we will also screen some brand new Lone Pine films, a science fiction space film, and a couple of surprises as well. As always there will be guest galore, panels, a dealers room and of course, the great tours.

We plan to have a building on the museum lot and hopefully a working museum that you can take for a test drive. Stay tuned as plans develop, and read about them here
