Before Now is Tomorrow is a collaborative project aimed towards digitising rare and obscured cultural heritage and publishing it online for creative reuse. Before Now is Tomorrow is currently operating out of RMIT, with student interns helping to set up channels and researchers developing methods. The project is aiming to be established and confident by the end of 2018.

Uncovered Heritage
The project has currently uncovered 1 piece of heritage, a film from the 1952 Olinda film Festival. The film is a short comedy set in the Hills around Emerald. The reel had “Olinda Film Festival – Tea Party” written on paper in its canister. it isn't certain who made the film, or who the people in it are, but it is speculated they are the festival organizers.

The Olinda Film Festival went on to become the Melbourne International Film Festival, making this film historically significant to MIFF as well as Olinda, the Hills and the period generally.
