Vintage Film Festival

You have film festivals in Cannes, Sundance, Toronto, Telluride, London, New York and also Cobourg & Port Hope, Ontario (that's Canada to you and me)!

The Vintage Film Festival was started 16 years ago by a group of movie enthusiasts who were busy restoring Cobourg native Marie Dressler's house and figured why not start a festival featuring movies starring Dressler. This idea grew into the present day festival that shows flicks made before 1945 and are shown in Victoria Hall, Cobourg and the Capitol Theatre in Port Hope.

There are some classics this in this years festival including The Pearl Of Death starring Basil Rathbone as Sherlock Holmes and Frank Capra's Lady for a Day. More information on the flicks showing can be found here.
