Cinevent described in 90 seconds by late co-founder, Steven Haynes.
For 53 years, as the world changed, some things stayed the same!

CINEVENT was a gathering of fans of silent and early sound films, and of collectors of motion pictures and related items.

Started in 1969 by a few folks who had a shared interest in watching films on 8mm and 16mm, it grew into a Memorial Day tradition for hundreds of attendees who gathered together year after year.

Movie screenings ran nearly continually every day of the convention from morning through evening (with a few hours off to sleep!).

Dealers filled over a hundred tables full of film, video, sound recordings, posters, stills, lobby cards, books, autographs...everything imaginable associated with film.
