Australia – and there is much more to come! As Editor, I feel quite spoilt for choice,
with so many stories yet to be shared – some on hold whilst we desperately try and
source rare photos to illustrate and help bring these pages to life.

Speaking of recording stories, I would like to pay tribute to work of Kino magazine which recently ceased
production after an amazing 32 years - leaving Australia the wonderful legacy of so much documented history.
Of course, even between the stirling efforts of both Kino and CinemaRecord, we have in reality, barely scratched
the surface in recording for prosperity, our cinematic heritage. There is much work still to be done and so much
has already been lost, so I cannot stress enough the importance of us all in making the effort to put pen-to-paper
to share your knowledge, stories and memories – our history, through the pages of this magazine.

absolutely ALL are worthy of being documented - as are the personal stories of the people who worked in, or
attended them.
The smallest snippets help paint a bigger picture, and your contributions will as always, be most welcomed and
appreciated.
Warmest Regards,
Kevin Adams.
