Despatches from Bologna’s Il Cinema Ritrovato
Three members of Cinema Reborn’s Organising Committee were in Bologna recently for the 37th edition of the city’s Il Cinema Ritrovato.

There was even some Australian content, some snippets from the NFSA’s Corrick Collection gathered in a program devoted to films made in 1903.
