Old movie fans gather

The Sweet 16 is getting the headlines, but film fans from all over the world will also be in Syracuse this weekend, for Cinefest.
Coordinator Gerry Orlando says the Thursday - Sunday event will show nearly 40 silent and early movies, as well as short subjects.
It's based at the Holiday Inn, Electronics Parkway but excursions include a trip to Rome's Capitol theatre for a 35mm screening.
The draw, says Orlando, is that the archival motion pictures are not found on dvds---many are one of a kind print, not seen publicly in decades. The 'silents' will have live piano accompaniment, and dealer rooms and a memorabilia auction are also annual highlights.
