Turner Classic Movies (TCM) Classic Film Festival 2013

April 2013
In its last year as a teenager, Ted Turner's TCM cable network, which will celebrate it's 20th Anniversary in 2014, left its roots in Atlanta and descended upon Hollywood for a 4th year of nonstop classic film celebration. The TCM Film Festival is an incredible annual event that transports fans back in time with over 100 film screenings and special celebrity appearances and discussions. This year marked my second year in attendance, and I loved every minute of it! Once you see what I've seen, you'll know why I'm already looking forward to next spring!

Click the photos below to enter the individual events held during the 4-day block of programming.
