Program for the Twenty-Ninth Annual Vintage Film Festival
Advance Program Information
Tickets will be available in summer 2022 - see the Ticket page. The best value by far is the Festival pass which gives you:
- The 13 program movies
- The very popular "Brown bag Lunch" - the speaker for 2022 has now been announced
Note that registration at the door is required. Singles will be available at the door (and online) at $10.00 for each movie.
