35mm Dreams with Jay Schwartz

Name: 35mm Dreams with Jay Schwartz

Duration: 2 h

Philadelphia's the Secret Cinema will return to the Greenbelt Cinema (for the first time in six years) to present another unique program of short films, this time projected using rare, original 35mm film prints. The program is called 35MM DREAMS. Short films are currently seen in film festivals, or occasionally at one-time showings of new Oscar-nominated works. But for most of the history of film exhibition, many different types of shorts were presented at every movie screening, before the feature -- comedy series, newsreels, documentaries, cartoons, travelogues, and sponsored films. These reels are fascinating time capsules of their era, and simply fun. The Secret Cinema has been actively collecting examples of these now extinct entertainments, which were seen in theaters until the practice wound down in the 1960s and '70s. We'll present a good, yet unpredictable assortment of shorts in 35MM DREAMS, spanning the 1940s through the 1970s. Jay Schwartz, the Secret Cinema's founder/director, will be on hand to introduce the program.PT2HNR2025-11-0335mm Dreams with Jay Schwartz"35mm Dreams with Jay Schwartz"
