 Posted: Mon Feb 25, 2008 8:35 am Post subject: KANSAS SILENT FILM FESTIVAL PHOTOS |
|
|
Here are some selected photos from our wonderful weekend at the 12th Annual Kansas Silent Film Festival!!!! 
My wife with Me and two other volunteers; Jane Bartholomew from Kansas City, and Karl Mischler, from New York City!
Dr Marvin Faulwell, the Master organist, who accompanied many of the silent films. He has worked with the Festival all 12 years! He also composed a musical score for The Phantom of the Opera (1925).
Greg Foreman and his wife Melodie. He is the other organist who accompanies the films.
Here is Karl again, always clowning around and being goofy! 
Denise Morrison; Bill Shaffer; Myself, and Karl. Denise introduces each silent film and adds commentary and bits of trivia about each film, at its conclusion. Bill is the President of the Film Festival.
Rodney Sauer and Brian Collins of The Mont-Alto Motion Picture Orchestra, conversing with a guest. Mont-Alto has produced scores for numerous silent films and they have quite an abundance of DVDs and CDs available! They, too, accompany the silent films at each year's festival.
These next two photos are items from the private collection of Bruce Calvert.

Thanks for the pics, Larry. A Wichita friend reading the board spotted an old friend of ours in the shot labeled "The theater Saturday evening." Cool and good to see a good turnout.

| I'm glad you liked the photos, Mike. And I hope it was a good thing that someone was recognized in the photo! |
