The Film Festival For People Who Love Movies And The People Who Made Them 

“A Gathering Of Classic Film Fans” 

“Movies touch our hearts, awaken our vision, and change the way we see things. They take us to other places. They open doors and minds. Movies are the memories of our lifetime. We need to keep them alive”

Martin Scorsese 

“A majority of classic film fans have never seen their favorites on the big screen, here is their chance to watch unforgettable films with the same quality as they were premiered”

Juan Carvajal, Artistic Director

“Film is a truly universal language and presenting these cinematic treasures in theatre inspires, educates, and entertains moviegoers of all ages. We are grateful to The Classics for their incredible commitment to keeping alive the theatrical experience.”

Margaret Bodde, Executive Director of The Film Foundation

“How inspiring and thrilling in this age of instant gratification and throwaway entertainment to have a festival that pays homage to the timeless classics of cinema and offers us the opportunity to see them anew with an audience on the big screen as their directors intended.”

Peter Webber, Board Member

“I’m so happy to be part of the Classics; a festival that celebrates the history of cinema. Our young audiences deserve to see these films. And with proper restoration and presentation, they will not soon be forgotten,”

Sean Baker, Board Member

“Cinema reinvented itself by looking back to look forward.”

Ed Lachman, Board Member
