Others will have their own memories. My Cine Capri memory comes from about ten years ago, when I was active in the then-fledgling sport of "period fencing" within the SCA. A group of us from the Barony of Atenveldt and Brimstone College were invited to perform a few bouts as part of a program of pre-movie entertainment presented by local TV movie host Bill Rocz. This was in connection with the local premiere of George Lucas and Ron Howard's film "Willow." It was great fun. We fought, made some noise, then were escorted to primo seats for the movie. I've done other movie promo volunteering for a number of Trek films since then, but nowhere else was I treated so well.
