Dear Cinema Pioneers,

We are very sad to inform you of the passing of our member Rex Trewin who passed away on April 14th, aged 85. (26/08/34 – 14/04/20)

Rex started his life in the cinema industry in 1950 at the age of 16 as an Assistant Projectionist at the Boomerang / Mayfair Cinema in Dandenong. (It opened as the Boomerang in 1924 and changed names in 1951. Demolished 1969)

Rex continued to work as a Projectionist until he retired at aged 60, working in Village Dandenong Drive-In, Village Clayton Drive-In and various other Village suburban Hardtops. His last long term location was the Village 10 Cinema Complex at Dandenong. He had come full circle. He will be remembered as a really top bloke by his friends and as a very experienced Projectionist – Derek Screen The Society Of Australian Cinema Pioneers – Contributed by Greg Lynch –
