Cinema Rediscovered 2023 marks the festival’s seventh annual edition with big-screen experiences of brand-new film restorations, hidden gems and film-on-film rarities from all over the world, alongside numerous starting points for lively conversations. This is a friendly space open to all film lovers!

 

The unifying theme of this year’s event is ‘Other Ways of Seeing’ with highlights including restored classics such as Sofia Coppola’s sensuously melancholic debut The Virgin Suicides (1999), the original cut of Stanley Kubrick’s debut Fear and Desire (1953) and Seijun Suzuki’s brutally absurdist Branded to Kill (1967).

 

There will also be screenings of Al Pacino starring NYPD cop corruption thriller Serpico (1973), Academy Award-winning favourite Midnight Cowboy (1969), Juliet Bashore’s queer docufiction Kamikaze Hearts (1986), a new short from BAFTA winner Mark Jenkin named A Dog Called Discord and much more besides. The full schedule can be found here.

 

The festival will kick off a UK-wide tour of highlights between August and October 2023 as well as an online offer via global streaming service, production company and film distributor MUBI. Tickets for the festival are priced at £100 with concession passes available for £80 and under 24s for £60.
