CINEMA REBORN TRAILER
Cinema Reborn will be presented at the Ritz Cinemas Randwick from 27 April to 1 May. It’s now less than eight weeks away. There will be a first announcement of key titles around 15 March and further announcements will follow. The complete program will be released around the end of March.
In the meantime if you are curious at all about what might be showing we have put together a trailer which features some brief moments from six of the films we are screening. Keen eyed cinephiles will be able to get some hints if they check it out. It’s been posted on YouTube and you can have a look at it. IF YOU CLICK HERE
FRIENDS AND STRANGERS
The trailer was assembled by the young Australian film-maker James Vaughan who has joined the Cinema Reborn Organising Committee and has been working with us to present the 2022 event. James is a long time cinephile with a broad range of interests including silent films. His work on the program selection was very valuable indeed.
In the meantime James first feature FRIENDS AND STRANGERS (above and below) is opening at selected cinemas around Australia in the coming days. The film had its Australian premiere at the 2021 Sydney Film Festival and has already screened at the London and New York Film Festivals as well as a host of others around the world. At the end of 2021 FRIENDS AND STRANGERS was voted by Sight and Sound into the top fifty films of the year from all parts of the globe, the only Australian feature to make it into the list.
Here’s what Thomas Flew in Sight & Sound had to say about the film: “Watching FRIENDS AND STRANGERS as an English winter approaches is almost masochistic, such is the welcoming warmth of the Australian sun. The conversations that Ray has throughout the film are considerably cooler, however Vaughan shows a great eye for detail and timing (he edited the film as well as writing and directing it), interspersing the interactions Ray has with friends and strangers with little details and asides that would fall into mumblecore territory in weaker hands.”
James is making the rounds and if you are curious to see him in person he will be at The Randwick Ritz on Monday 14 March 6:30PM for a Q&A screening. You can book tickets if you click on this link.
