MULTI-TICKET PASSES
Many of our supporters have asked that we introduce a discount multi-ticket pass to enable those attending lots of Cinema Reborn sessions to book easily and get a reward for their loyalty. At our 2025 season attendees at the Randwick Ritz and Hawthorn Lido (pictured above) will be able to purchase a 5 or 10 film pass which will enable easy redemption for any of the approximately 30 sessions we will be presenting. More details and prices will be announced soon.
A TRIBUTE TO TOM ZUBRYCKI
Tom Zubrycki is one of Australia's leading documentary film-makers. For over forty years he has chronicled Australian society. His awards include the Stanley Hawes Award in recognition of an outstanding contribution to Australian Documentary, the Cecil Holmes Award from the Australian Directors Guild, and an International Emmy.
Cinema Reborn, OZDOX and the Randwick Ritz are proud to present a screening of newly restored copies of two of Tom’s highly regarded landmark films: KEMIRA – DIARY OF A STRIKE (1984) and HOMELANDS (1993). Tom will introduce the films and take part in a conversation about his life, career and documentary film-making in Australia. The evening will be hosted by Maree Delofski - filmmaker, scholar and historian.
KEMIRA – DIARY OF A STRIKE (1984)
A day by day account of a sixteen day underground colliery sit-in strike which led to the storming of Parliament House in Canberra. The story is mirrored through a family of one of the striking miners. KEMIRA premiered at the Sydney Film Festival, had a cinema release and won awards including the AFI for Best Documentary, Silver Bear in Leipzig, and Best Film at Tyneside.
HOMELANDS (1993)
A story about a refugee family living in Melbourne but torn apart by their conflicting desires to return to their homeland in El Salvador or to stay in Australia. HOMELANDS follows the personal dramas in the life of the family over eighteen months. The film had a nation-wide festival and cinema release and was awarded the Film Critics Circle Prize for Best Documentary. International festival screenings included Cinéma du Réel, IDFA and Margaret Mead.
Tom would like to acknowledge the work of Ray Argall who has lovingly restored both of these films.

Our organisation is run by a group of film industry professionals, working critics, curators and film conservation specialists. All work in an entirely voluntary capacity. Nevertheless there are significant costs, most notably our screening fees, which have to be met each year and we are always grateful for the financial support we receive that defrays these costs and charges. If you would like to make a donation you may do so via via the attached link established by the Australian Cultural Fund which enables small unincorporated organisations like ours to use a service which would otherwise not be easily accessible.
