“The film is astounding, but be sure to stay after the film for Jackson’s making-of short documentary, which reveals his production tricks and all the other amazing historical touches he added to make these long-gone soldiers spring back to life in the muddy trenches of France and Belgium. Even if you don’t think you are a Wwi buff, this remarkable film is an experience, one you do not want to miss.” Cate Marquis’s December 2018 review.

Between 1914 and 1918, a global conflict changed the course of history.

The people who experienced it did not live in a silent, black and white world.

From Academy Award-winning filmmaker Peter Jackson comes the groundbreaking documentary “They Shall Not Grow Old,” presented on the centenary of the end of the First World War.

On the heels of its already record-breaking release, and in response to popular demand, a third Fathom Events date has been added for Warner Bros. Pictures’ much-heralded Wwi documentary “They Shall Not Grow Old,” from Oscar-winning filmmaker Peter Jackson. The film will be screened at more than 1,000 locations in the U.S. on Monday, January 21, 2019, taking advantage of the holiday weekend. The announcement was made today by Jeffrey Goldstein, President, Domestic Distribution, Warner Bros. Pictures, and Ray Nutt, CEO of Fathom Events.

“They Shall Not Grow Old” debuted in North America at 1,122 locations on December 17, 2018, taking in an impressive $2.327 million. As anticipation grew for the second Fathom Events release date, on December 27, several locations were sold out more than a week in advance. Playing on 1,007 screens, the film earned an astounding $3.375 million for a record-shattering two-day total of $5.702 million. It is the highest-grossing U.S. cinema event to date, for...

Tens of thousands of hours of audiovisual content held on magnetic tapes will be lost forever unless the material is digitised by 2025.

The National Film and Sound Archive of Australia estimates the cost of digitising at $10 million -. $6 million to convert videotapes and $4 million for audiotapes.

Today the Nfsa released a discussion paper calling for a national framework for digitisation of audiovisual collections.

That would entail a collaborative approach by government and cultural institutions in order to mass-digitise before the 2025 deadline.

Nfsa CEO Michael Loebenstein said: .All tape-based formats created in the 20th century are now obsolete. Tape that is not digitised by 2025, we risk losing forever.

.This is a preventable loss. If we act swiftly today, we will all enjoy the advantages that digitisation of our collections can bring to Australia..

The content at risk includes news and current affairs, dramas, comedies, music and spoken word.

The Nfsa says...

The digitally remastered print of 1927 classic Australian silent comedy The Kid Stakes is being screened for AFI-aacta members in Sydney next month.

But the credits don.t acknowledge that the film could have been lost to posterity but for the rescue efforts by the Sydney University Film Group including John Morris in 1953.

That omission dismays film activist David Donaldson, a member of the group who later became the inaugural director of the Sydney Film Festival.

Directed and written by Tal Ordell, the film is a faithful adaptation of Syd Nicholls. Fatty Finn comic strip, chronicling the adventures of a gang of kids in Woolloomooloo.

The National Film and Sound Archive restored the film as a Dcp (Digital Cinema Package), which was screened at its Arc cinema in Canberra in June with a new score composed and played by Jan Preston.

A donor, borrower, critic and advocate of the Archive and...

As The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey dominates the box office, Ivan has a listen to Howard Shore's superb score...

Like a pair of old jeans that you hope still fit, returning to Middle-Earth after nine years was always going to be a daunting prospect. Thanks to its strange new 48fps appearance and a padded script that tried to turn it into a Lord Of The Rings prequel, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey didn't fit quite as comfortably as everyone hoped.

Not so for composer Howard Shore. Howard slips into those trousers with all the silky charm of Ian McKellen’s eyebrows, recapturing the mood of his original scores while also developing new themes; the characters are all new, but the backdrop feels the same.

And backdrops don't get much better than this. If Peter Jackson was bonkers to try and film Tolkien’s fantasy epic...
