[PPIE Lectures] Free Movies of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, Online THIS SATURDAY, March 14 at NOON.

[la at sf1915.com]

Dear Friends,

 

FREE Exposition MOVIES! 

 

The Panama-Pacific International Exposition was the first World's Fair with
a significant film presence. Movies were taken at or made to show off the
Fair's attractions. Most are quite rare, and they offer a fascinating look
at what it was like to actually attend the event. The San Francisco Silent
Film Festival is hosting a virtual event showcasing some of those 1915 PPIE
films this weekend.

And.... it's FREE! Just click on the link to register.

 

The event will take place at noon this Saturday, March 14.

 

The SF Silent Film Festival has invited me to be a guest for the Q&A section
after the movies are done, which is quite nice of the SFSFF. 

 

I always find films of the PPIE particularly interesting because there it
is-in operation-with people enjoying the Fair, sometimes fighting the wind,
listening to concerts, watching parades and  seeing some of the amazing
attractions and exhibits.

 

Whether you stick around for Q&A or not, please join in to watch some motion
pictures of the big party in 1915.

 

Regards,

International Exposition of 1915
