Al Christie Tribute

[tguinan]

In case you guys missed the announcement in the Silent Screenings section this coming Saturday/Sunday the Niles Essanay Silent Film Museum will be hosting an Al Christie Tribute using 12 of the films I have on my DVD's plus a recorded Zoom meeting with myself, Sam Gill and Steve Massa two film historians and authors; and on Sunday a live Zoom meeting with the three of us. I don't know how long the Sunday one will be but the Saturday zoom ran over 3 hours and I had a blast talking with Sam & Steve. We have shortened the it down to just over an hour. If you get the chance to see the longer version it has a lot of info and great stories from Sam and Steve.

Yes that was the announcement.

What a treat!
So many aspects of this past year have been difficult, but then there are so many folks finding ways to put smiles in line . Connecting through comedy is what is getting me through.

Thanks so much for doing this.
I will be there. How do O find the link/ links to the programs?

[Salty Dog]

On previous Niles events, the links do not appear on the Niles page until the day of the show, but they will remain up there for a while afterwards.

[tguinan]

Yes the links won't go live until 12:00 AM Saturday morning. You can go to their web page www.nilesfilmmuseum.org or go to youtube and search for Niles Essanay Silent Film Museum and pull it up there too.
