SCULPTING IN TIME: THE FILMS OF ANDREI TARKOVSKY
Leading up to Cinema Reborn 2025 we are delighted to announce a collaboration with Ritz, Lido and Classic Cinemas in presenting a complete retrospective of the feature films of master filmmaker Andrei Tarkovsky. These will be the first ever screenings in Australia to be devoted to a full career review of this master filmmaker. Tarkovsky’s work was previously at Cinema Reborn in 2022 when his masterpiece Mirror was presented in a superb 4K restoration.
The retrospective will begin at the Ritz Cinemas in Sydney on March 20 and Lido and Classic Cinemas in Melbourne on March 27, where Tarkovsky’s debut feature Ivan’s Childhood will be screened at 7pm on those dates. In Sydney there will be an introduction to the season at the Ivan’s Childhood screening by Sydney University film studies scholar Matilda Mroz and the main screening of The Sacrifice during the Cinema Reborn 2025 season will be preceded by an introduction by actor, educator and film-maker Richard James Allen. In Melbourne, critics Grace Boschetti (Ivan’s Childhood) and David Heslin (The Sacrifice) will introduce those sessions at the Hawthorn Lido. The Sacrifice will be a part of the 2025 Cinema Reborn season at the Ritz on Thursday 1 May and at Lido on Thursday 8 May, and will also screen at Classic Cinemas, Elsternwick on Thursday 8 May.
Full details of the Tarkovsky retrospective, with links to bookings at each of the cinemas, may be found at these links.
