Exhibit Kicks Off Summer
Southern Ocean County Chamber member, Unshredded Nostalgia will be hosting
this striking, colorful and eye-catching exhibit and sale from June 4th
through September at Barnegat store.


FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

May 26, 2009 – Jaws, Serpico, North Dallas Forty, The God Father, Dirty
Harry, Clockwork Orange, and the classic camp comedy Meatballs are just some
of the vintage posters that will conjure up memories from summer movies
past. These iconic films and characters which have set the standard in movie
making today, were studio gambles over thirty years ago. The 1970’s poster
exhibit celebrates the art and the films that set the tone for a generation
begins as the Long Beach Island Film Festival celebrates the new talent in
film making with their inaugural festival June 4-7.

The exhibit curator, Bruce Lawton, is an accomplished historian and
preservationist. He has provided rare film sequences and archival material
for the American Film Institute, HBO, Turner Entertainment, and has worked
their D.W. GRIFFITH SERIES as well as assisting their restoration of THE
GOLD RUSH for the Chaplin Estate. Mr. Lawton has also been commissioned by
Paramount to inspect its film and video vaults on both coasts in order to
evaluate their archival preservation program.

Lawton comments on the upcoming exhibit “One of the things that I've started
to realize is what a diverse cross-section of films being made in the 70s
and how diverse the ad campaigns were. I’ve also noticed how much the 70s
are like today - and are being reflected in today's cinema. There is
something for everyone in this exhibit, Lawton has selected films for the
romantic, young at heart with Disney live action film posters as well
something for fans seeking 70’s star power, SCI FI and pure horror.
