Summer Camp
Cinema marks 10 years with Huntington film festival

Summer Camp Cinema, the annual festival devoted
to the high art of lowbrow movies, celebrates its 10th anniversary with a
lineup of double features from years past. It's a "best of" edition
comprising the kind of horror, sci-fi and action flicks that fans love more
than critics.
"The 10 years have crept up on me,"
says festival founder Brett Sherris, of Northport. "When I started this
thing, I never imagined we'd be at this point."
Summer Camp Cinema, which takes place Saturday
nights starting June 6 through Aug. 29 at Cinema Arts Centre in Huntington, is
a throwback to the golden age of late-night movie going with a spotlight on
cult hits, questionable favorites and best-kept secrets. In keeping with that
revivalist spirit, Sherris screens 35 mm film prints when he can, though
they're increasingly rare in this age of digital projection.
"It's getting to the point where there are
literally one-of-a-kind prints circulating," Sherris says. "If
there's a movie you want to see and it's playing on film, don't wait. Because
if the projector happens to chew it up, that might be it."
