Cinema Reborn was developed by a community of cinema enthusiasts who work on this project on an entirely voluntary basis. The group comprises experienced programmers, filmmakers, screen historians and critics.
Cinema Reborn’s focus is on screen heritage and preservation. In its start-up year of 2018, Cinema Reborn presented twelve programs of either recently restored films shown using digital copies or, rarer, film archived-sourced 35mm film prints. All were presented following best practice in the presentation of archival or screen heritage titles, and reflected the originally intended experience of their creators.
The Cinema Reborn Organising Committee has now reached agreement with Sydney’s art deco movie palace The Ritz at Randwick (above) to present eleven sessions of newly restored classics drawn from film archives and suppliers around the world. Please put the dates in your diary as we know that all sorts of other events will loom on the horizon and compete for attention.
Tickets to all sessions are now sale. Scroll down this page listing the films coming soon and you’ll quickly find the Cinema Reborn titles. Just Click here and you’ll be able to buy at the regular admission prices charged by the Ritz which include $10 for Seniors to all sessions.
