Cinema Reborn

Cinema Reborn will have its first edition in Sydney Australia from 3-7 May 2018.

Itis being developed by community of cinema enthusiasts who, although for the moment working on this project on an entirely voluntary basis are also experienced programmers, filmmakers, screen historians and critics.

Cinema Reborn's focus will be on screen heritage and preservation. In its start-up year of 2018, From 3-7 May 2018, Cinema Reborn will present twelve programs of either recently restored films or, rarer, film archived-sourced film prints. All will be presented following best practice in the presentation of archival or screen heritage titles, and will reflect the originally intended experience of their creators. Cinema Reborn is intended to shine a light on the long history of the art of the cinema, the world-wide activity of film restoration and the treasures that exist in the world’s film archives.

In order to present the event in properly certified projection conditions we have formed an informal partnership with the Australian Film Television and Radio School, the only venue in Sydney which is fully compliant with international archival standards in all projection formats. Because of the limited seating space and our desire for this to be conducted on a not-for-profit basis, we have devised an admission system which will admit AFTRS students, staff and financial supporters free of charge and charge a modest subscription fee to the general public. The subscription only model is based on the method once employed by Australia’s major capital city film festivals and the programs are intended to encompass a selection of films which would otherwise not be available as a cinema going experience. It is intended that the selection will be entirely drawn from films not otherwise available from any modern sources including on locally available DVD or on any local streaming service. Cinema Reborn will be a unique program.

The festival will include panel discussion devoted to issues of interest to cinephiles, professionals, audio-visual archivists, film historians and the media
