REMEMBERING
JOHN BENGTSON
With profound sadness, we report the passing of our wonderful friend John Bengtson.
His generosity and support of Cinecon can’t be underestimated. His knowledge of film locations was unparalleled. The tours he provided to our attendees at no cost during the festivals were among the highlights of the weekends.
He paved a way for all silent film fans that will always be appreciated and never to be forgotten.

Frequently Asked Questions
CAN I JUST COME SEE ONE MOVIE?
Sadly no. We would love to have people pick and choose from the schedule of movies, but we have found it works better for people to have at least a Day Pass.
DO YOU HAVE LODGING DEALS WITH LOCAL HOTELS
YES! You can check out information about our partner hotel in the EVENT INFO Section.
DO YOU SHOW MODERN MOVIES?
The focus of Cinecon centers around the golden age of Cinema – namely films made between the 1910s to the 1950s. Occasionally we will show films made up through the 1960s.
CAN I GET A REFUND IF I CANNOT MAKE IT?
We only offer refunds for the $299 Early Bird Full Festival Passes. These can be refunded until August 15, 2024.
CAN I COME FOR JUST ONE DAY?
YES! We realize that taking 4 days to watch awesome movies might not be possible. That is why we created Day Passes for each of the four days. Check out the ticket section for more details.
CAN I PURCHASE PASSES AT THE FESTIVAL?
Yes you can! You can check in with staff on the day you go to the Festival.
WHAT PAYMENT METHODS DO YOU ACCEPT?
Eventbrite accepts major forms of payment. We also can accept Paypal and Checks.
