Cinefest 19 is now over. We all had a great time!!

Cinefest 19 was held during the same period as last year, Thursday, March 4th - Sunday, March 7th 1999. As it says in the Cinefest brochure, attending Cinefest is a privilege! I was again there to represent and pass the word of The Vitaphone Project.
