* Missing film guide. Assumption that we did not hold B-Fest.
Important historical B-fest find! Unofficial B-Fest historian Ken Begg located a copy of the 1992 B-Fest program in his archives. This contradicts the previous assumption that B-Fest was not held this year. (I did receive some reports that the 1992 B-Fest was held, but no proof was offered.) According to Ken, the printed schedule reads as follows:
