CINEMA REBORN - ORDER THE PRINTED CATALOGUE

CINEMA REBORN’S PRINTED CATALOGUE WILL BE ON SALE THROUGHOUT THE SEASON

Our printed catalogue has become something of a collector’s item and this year’s edition will be a welcome addition to the series. Over its 140 pages every film screened at Cinema Reborn is reviewed by scholars, critics and cinephiles from around the world. Some of the material is also published on our website and you can access it at https://cinemareborn.com.au/ 

The Cinema Reborn catalogue is edited by Anne Rutherford and designed by David McLaine. Editorial assistance by Simon Taaffe. Additional Research by Zac Tomé. Among contributors are John Baxter, Adrian Martin, Ben McCann, Greg Dolgopolov, Grace Boschetti, Tony Rayns, Vic Smith & Elizabeth Schaffer, Adrian Danks, Dylan Rowen, Daniel Bird, Janice Tong, Rose Murray, David Noakes, Lucia Sorbera, Bruce Hodsdon, Laleen Jamayanne, Jane Mills, Bill Mousoulis, Frankie Kanatas, Helen Goritsas, Rod Bishop and Anna Dzenis.

In Editor Anne Rutherford’s view Cinema Reborn is more than a festival.  “It’s a cultural project that aims to revive and foster lively discussion around cinema. I want to acknowledge the generosity and professionalism of all the writers who have contributed to that discussion in these pages.”

In addition to the comprehensive notes on each film the catalogue also includes a number of short essays, reprinted material, interviews with film-makers and specialist commentary. This material includes contributions by Augustin Sotto on Lino Brocka, Tessa Parel on Metro Cinema and pop culture, David Noakes discussing How The West Was Lost with Anne Rutherford, Vilmos Zsigmond, Tim Grierson, Robert Christgau, Chris Galloway and David Stratton on McCabe & Mrs Miller, Ray Argall discussing the restoration of The Miniskirted Dynamo and film restoration more generally in an interview with Zac Tomé, Bruce Beresford on Julien Duvivier, Alena Lodkina on The Sacrifice, James Steffen on Sergei Parajanov, Jane Mills on the Stella Dallas collaborators and Marshall Deutelbaum on Orson Welles soundscape in Touch of Evil.
