I will start off this year's picture thread with a picture of me and Shorty. An American and a Norwegian meeting in the UK.

And please feel free to add to this thread if you are in Blackpool.

Shorty went all the way to the U.K.? I thought he never left Jersey! He must be raking it in with all those parts in films!
DIZZY DOCTORS -- the 200 foot silent edition? Even I have that one.

Someone actually brought a Eumig 926 GL? I could hear the film chattering all the way across the pond!

I think he wants the 400’ sound, he asks me tosell mine, but I do not have it, only 400’ Dizzy Pilots. Hope he Finds what he searches for

A Night to Remember … Likely the best film about the Titanic. Was it a feature?

Yes a full feature on 16mm.

(edited as it said "dull" and not "full")

Mark, you took the words out of my mouth ;_) I find it to be very good, not dull at all :-) Have a Super 8, maybe lightly edited? It is a 1200’+800’

Last year it was Norman wisdom ???, this year " a night to remember " oh the irony, if you are trying to encourage younger people to take an interest in the hobby, don't show boring b/w films from 50 years ago ...........

I am sure—as Mark said—that is a typo on Eivind’s part. I am sure Eivind meant “full” and not dull. As Paul suggested, hopefully there are some younger film enthusiasts in attendance at Blackpool too.

That was never released by Columbia Home Movies division. They only released a 200 foot silent version with subtitles in Standard 8mm and Super 8. They probably released a 50 foot version as well. (You no sooner thread those up, focus, etc, then they're over.)

If a 400 foot version was made, it was probably a bootleg.

It would be easier to just get it on 16mm.

The dinner. The film show at the dinner where home made Super 8 from several concerts, some home made railway films (incredible colors), all shot by a fellow Norwegian collector, and my copy of Pinchcliff Grand Prix, the Norwegian stop motion animation from 1975. I was a bit afraid it would be dull (this time I spelled it on purpose) as it has Norwegian audio, but it was a big hit! They got an introduction to the story before it got started and the story is quite visual and easy to get without understanding the language.

And I had a fantastic tie with the Derann logo that Greg Perry has made and sent to me! Tha ks again Greg! The coolest tie in the room.

I am just back from Blackpool, had a great time and picked up a few films, nice to see some familiar faces and it was probably the busiest I've ever seen it, thanks to all that was involved in putting on such a great weekend, Mark.
