Premier of 8mm film now at broadbarn.com!

This Star Trek convention was held at the Hilton hotel in Chicago, August 22-24, 1975. Recently transferred from 8mm film, this may be the only video available of this particular event.

It was said that Mark Lenard who played the Romulan comander and Spock's father was also at this convention. Can anyone confirm this?

  1. Great little video clip--I got to attend about 3 of the NYC conventions in 1976-1978. I remember Nimoy (still in his "I Am Not Spock" phase) showing up unexpectedly at the Con so he could bawl out the fans who were insisting he do Spock again for the planned series/movie!

    Thanks for the clip--it brings back those great memories of when we fans were a small minority who kept this wonderful show alive.

  2. Thank you for posting this clip! I attended several Cons in Southern California when I was pre-teen and this brought back many (very positive) memories! Thank you!
