Book your place now for our FREE Reframing Film Sessions! Join some of the most inspiring voices in the worlds of exhibition, distribution and restoration on Wed 22 July at Watershed, Bristol on the opening day of Cinema Rediscovered 10th edition festival for a chance to reflect on the rise of rep in the last decade and what that might mean for the future of cinema.
We’ll explore how restorations come about with some of the leading studios and distributors; get tips on inviting outside curatorial voices into your programme; and creating a buzz so audiences engage with lesser-known titles in cinemas, festivals and pop-up spaces; plus get a sneak preview of upcoming re-releases from some of the UK’s leading rep distributors.
There will also be plenty of opportunities to connect with distributors, your peers and other industry practitioners through 1:1 meetings, a FREE networking lunch c/o Principal Festival Sponsors Park Circus & StudioCanal and a fun Craft & Chat corner.
Attendees will receive an invitation to our Opening Night Drinks (18:00 - 19:00), sponsored by 6 O'clock Gin, access to free early-morning exhibitor previews of upcoming new 4K restorations on Thu 23 & Fri 24 July, as well as exclusive discounts on a festival pass and accommodation - link in bio for full details.
