GALLERY - SILENT FILM FESTIVALS WE HAVE KNOWN!
This is what you have missed out on in previous years:
Hello dearest chums!
Welcome to the eighth annual Silent Film Festival held in Opotiki’s art deco De Luxe theatre as we celebrate it’s 85th anniversary in 2011!
We look forward to not only seeing all our old friends and meeting new ones but also admiring all the gorgeous outfits, from frocks to fascinators, suits to spats and hats to match. Make a date in September to come on over to Opotiki and capture the spirit of the Silent Era!
Looking forward to seeing you all there!
