Our 10th annual festival promises to be (in the words of old Hollywood) bigger and better than ever! Each screening will be an event featuring rare silent films that will entertain and stay in your memory long after the lights have come up. Over the years, we have been striving to achieve several goals with this festival. First of all, to introduce new generations to the many wonders of the silent film era and reacquaint elders with a vanished era.    We also like to present some traditional elements in the festival each year - the showing of a D. W. Griffith film since he has been acknowledged as the ‘Father of Film’ and a surprise or two—really rare films that may not have been screened for almost a century or great comedies by comedians who seldom get wide exposure.
   We also like to mix traditional favorites with excellent lesser-known films to present a wider variety of film experiences for our audience. We strive to keep the festival free and open to the public every year through donations and through underwriting from individual, business and corporate sponsorship. We hope you’ll enjoy part or all of the festival in 2006.
