Restored classic still popular after 24 years.

 A restored print of Malcolm attracted crowds in Canberra as the National Film and Sound Archive announced the next five titles to be preserved as part of the Deluxe/Kodak project. 

The print of Nadia Tass’s 1986 hit Malcolm was screened at the NFSA in Canberra last Thursday and Saturday, with an audience of 302 viewers who heard about the degradation of the film’s negative over the years from Malcolm producer David Parker. An NFSA spokesperson told Encore that a number of cinemas and film societies have already expressed interest in screening this new print.

The NFSA also announced the five titles that will be preserved as part of the Deluxe/Kodak project, which aims to preserve and make available a selection of significant colour Australian films, restoring them to their original format and condition.
