From the Editor....

aving recently run the gamut of Annual Leave and ill health
Hon top of home and work commitments, I am pleased to
finally present you with this bumper issue of Cinemarecord
featuring a broad range of interesting histories, articles, memories
and lots of pictures from all over Australasia!
Through a number of stories we also remember those who we
have sadly recently lost. Let this be a reminder of our own
immortality and I urge you to take the time to record and share your own stories and
memories for future generations through these pages.
As always, my thanks go to all those who help make CinemaRecord such a good read.
As Editor, I am always reliant upon new contributions from our readers and look forward to
The official journal of the Cinema And receiving your efforts for future editions.
