Those who don’t live in Melbourne have frequently asked me, ‘How can I see the Cinemaniacs‘ presentations if I can’t get to a screening?’. Until recently, I didn’t have an answer. But now, for the price of a Patreon membership, all Cinemaniacs’ presentations since the beginning of 2024 are available for you to enjoy.

You might not be able to recreate the Cathedral-like atmosphere of Melbourne’s The Astor Theatre in your living room, but this is the best way to savour the Cinemaniacs’ flavour of rarely screened films contextualised through introductions by film/cinema specialists of every ilk.

As a carrot-dangler, I’m at liberty to share my own presentation from July 2025: LOOKING FOR MR GOODBAR (1977) where I was honoured to celebrate Cinemaniacs’ co-founder Lee Gambin‘s birthday and his love for this sensational film. Diane Keaton has never been better.

Below, you can watch the video recording, including the accompanying slideshow. If you like what you see, get thee to Cinemaniacs’ Patreon page pronto and share in the love of classic, under-appreciated cinema.
