Program for the 33rd Annual Vintage Film Festival
Below is a list of the films to be shown. If you click the title of any film you will go to a page of information including a short description, director, cast and a trailer.
CAPITOL THEATRE · PORT HOPE
Theme - "Best Dressed"
The 33rd Vintage Film Festival presents thirteen of the “best dressed” movies of the 20th century—each of which, in its own way, intrigues us from a fashion or costume perspective, in addition to being a great motion picture in its own right.
We’ve got comedies, dramas, musicals, art house classics, and even horror movies; and each of them established an instantly recognizable costume, introduced a memorable wardrobe item, or had fun with its fashion industry setting. Come and enjoy them all—and don’t fail to bring the kids to see the animated classic One Hundred and One Dalmatians!
Experience live, in-the-moment piano accompaniment (by VFF favourite Jordan Klapman) to films featuring two silent stars in their iconic roles: Charlie Chaplin in The Tramp, and Rudolph Valentino in The Sheik. And the Festival experience also includes the Sunday lunchtime film talk (an on-stage interview with award-winning costume designer Alex Reda), new merchandise and movie banners, the silent auction, free admission for young people 25 and under, and free popcorn all weekend!
Note program is subject to change.
