'Tis
the time of year when you can support one of the Bay Area's most enchanting
cultural events and take a tax write-off!
Our wonderful members and sponsors have made 2012 the most exciting year in our
17-year history! Our spring presentation of Kevin Brownlow's
restoration of Napoleon
accompanied by maestro Carl Davis set the bar high. We followed it with a triumphant summer festival
that included the gorgeous restoration of Pandora's Box accompanied by the
world premiere of Matti Bye's beautiful new score; Paramount's restoration
of Wings
accompanied by the Mont Alto Motion Picture Orchestra with live Foley
effects by Academy Award-winning sound designer Ben Burtt; Buster Keaton's The Cameraman
preceded by an audience full of Buster Keatons (courtesy of our friends at
Fandor). We launched a new
website that contains all of our essays from years past and
is full of beautiful images. We are adding new information all the time,
and promise interesting articles and links to come. We could go on...
We have exciting
plans for this upcoming year (including our Silent Winter event on Feb. 16,
our summer Festival July 18-21, and a very special spring presentation
we'll be announcing soon) and we hope you'll join us in the festivities. Your support has made San Francisco
Silent Film Festival the largest and most important event of its kind in
the Americas.
We hope you'll take this
opportunity to support us and take a
well-deserved tax break!
Here's to 2013!
