   Boskone still does this.  This year Boskone ran only a short NACA film   
   and the 16mm film from Worldcon with our own Gary McGath accompanying   
   on synthesizer, though, and not a full silent feature.  We hope to have a   
   feature in February.   
      
   For years, John Kiley joked with us that when he died we would have   
   to start running transitional films (films that were still acted and   
   composed like silent films, but with some dialogue added).  When he   
   did die in the early 2000s we ran White Zombie with Bela Lugosi.
