annotations

The Melbourne Cinematheque is a film club that runs weekly screenings at the Australian Centre for the Moving Image in Melbourne. In co-ordination with these screenings, the online journal Senses of Cinema commissions short essays about the films, providing analysis and further context. These annotations are usually printed out and left in the foyer for patrons.
