A CELEBRATION OF 25 YEARS OF TCM + 10 YEARS OF THE TCM CLASSIC FILM FESTIVAL

by Jason Silverman, TCM Classic Film Tour Guide
I was fortunate enough to have a VIP pass to this year’s TCM Classic Film Festival and this one was easily my favorite of the four I have been to. Couple that with the 10th anniversary of the festival and the 25th anniversary of TCM and you have a pretty special celebration. This year, I made a rule for myself to only see things I had never seen before and, boy oh boy, was that difficult. In previous years, I had mix of favorites and new ones, but I wanted to see what it was like to discover only new things to me. With that said, I saw 15 classics this festival, my most ever with a wide variety of silent films from the 1920’s to action films in the 1980’s. I saw a range of exhibition formats including 16mm, 35mm, nitrate, and DCP.]
