At the 2012 Bradford
Widescreen Weekend Sydney delegate David Coles
presented 'a witty canter through the life and career of
John H. Mitchell' -
legendary Australian Cinerama preservationist.
Although John was unable to attend the Festival in person, the wonders of
modern technology allowed a live Skype link-up with Australia in which
Bill Lawrence
advised him that, in recognition of his exceptional services to the world of
Cinerama, John H. Mitchell was to be ordained into the Grand Order of the
Bradford International Film festival
Academy of the Wide Screen
Weekend.

David Coles returned home a few weeks later with the parchment, and
instructions from a man named Thomas to photograph the Award handover.
Within days of his return, David received a telephone call from a Bora Bora
lady advising that she was visiting her Sydney home for a few days.

Who better to make the presentation than
Ramine, the featured performer in
"Cinerama South Seas Adventure", who had caused so much excitement for those
attending the Bradford Digital World Premiere screening?
Saturday May 26 was arranged as the day for Ramine and her husband to visit
John at his Cinerama venue/home for the presentation and photograph session.
| |
The irony of their visit was that they had been passing by the house for
decades without being aware that the film Ramine had been so keen to see
again was being shown there. When they finally did visit, the print was no
longer there - having been sent to Bradford late last year!
