RESURFACE - CLASSIC DOCUMENTARIES AT ANTENNA  CURATED BY PENNY LANE

Unearthed and brought back to light, Resurface presents a handpicked collection of cinematic gems from the past. Each year, Antenna invites a documentary filmmaker to curate films that have profoundly shaped how they view and interpret the world. This year, we join award-winning director Penny Lane as she shares the films that have inspired her creative journey.


Known for her humour and unconventional approach to the documentary form, Penny has directed critically acclaimed documentaries such as Our Nixon (2013), Nuts! (2016), HailSatan? (2019), Listening to Kenny G (2021), and Confessions of a Good Samaritan(2023).


Penny Lane is a special guest of the festival and will introduce all sessions in person. Details,titles and links to bookings https://antennafestival.org/resurface-curated-by-penny-lane/

CHARITABLE DONATIONS

Once again Cinema Reborn has established a page to enable our supporters to make tax-deductible donations to support our work. 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. To make a donation any time between now and the end of Cinema Reborn 2025 click on this link https://artists.australianculturalfund.org.au/s/project/a2EMn00000FDsl8MAD/cinema-reborn-2025
