Cinema Rediscovered is back for its 5th Edition (28 July – 1 August 2021) celebrating the return to cinemas with a selection of restorations and rediscoveries.
As part of the festival, Cinema Rediscovered is launching a UK wide tour of highlights available for film exhibitors to book from Aug – Oct 2021, a Watershed project with support from BFI awarding funds from The National Lottery and MUBI and partners Park Circus and Twelve30 Collective.
