This is my first year at the TCMFF so, I'm using this opportunity to just find out how it all works and absorb as much as I can. I have attended other festivals, but nothing like this.
I have been away from my classic movie site for awhile now, while I have pursued other interests, and it feels great to be back with classic films once more.
I first got down to Hollywood Boulevard at the Roosevelt Hotel where the festival is being held on Wednesday where I attended the Press Conference. During the press conference we learned what to expect and got to meet some of the TCM people, like host Robert Osborne, Ben Mankiewicz and more. It was so nice to be talking classic movies again and I enjoyed learning more about the festival.
After the press conference, the lobby of the hotel was being used to record "spots" for the channel by Robert Osborne. He conducted several three minute spots with several different actors, such as the wonderful Jane Withers and James Karen. I was glad to see them both before I had to leave for the day.
Before I left that day I took many photos showing the TCMFF's presence on Hollywood Boulevard, as you can see below.
