David Stratton's Great British Retro Film Festival
Embrace your inner Brit with this program of big screen classics.
Overview
Ever since Margaret and David exited our lives after the conclusion of At the Movies last year, there has been a bit of a hole in our film-loving hearts. Thankfully, neither one of them has fully retired, and David Stratton for one has certainly been busy. Stratton brings Australian audiences the inaugural Great British Retro Film Festival, for which he is both curator and patron. The festival will be touring nationally, but for a slice of the action in Sydney, head to the Orpheum and embrace your inner Brit.
The festival includes 19 films of Britain’s greatest contributions to cinema. As you can imagine, the program is filled to the brim with classics, such as 2001: Space Odyssey, Sense and Sensibility, Lawrence of Arabia and Brief Encounter. There are five classics from the esteemed Powell and Pressburger catalogue, but more modern works such as Danny Boyle’s Slumdog Millionaire also get a look-in for those who like to celebrate Britain's more recent achievements in cinema as well.
