LOS ANGELES — The 58th edition of the Cinecon Classic Film Festival continues its celebration of rarely screened films from early silents to the Golden Age of Hollywood this year for the first time at the Hollywood Legion Theater at Post 43.

The festival is a gathering place for film lovers, historians, archivists and features special events and guests such as this year’s appearances of Mitzi Gaynor in conversation with Michael Feinstein.

In organizing the screening of some 90 different film items, festival president Stan Taffel worked closely with film projectionist Taylor Umphenour, an expert in the fading art of projecting physical film media of all kinds.
