Umbrella Entertainment is an Australian film distribution company that began operating in 2001.[1] It is based in Kew, Victoria.
Umbrella Entertainment manages the theatrical, physical, and digital releases of Australian films, documentaries and arthouse indie films. Umbrella Entertainment has amassed a catalogue of over 1,500 titles, including a large collection of remastered classic Australian films and TV programs on physical media.[1]
Umbrella Entertainment's commercial library consists mostly of Australian and Ozploitation films. The company has a history of regularly restoring genre classics such as Razorback, Frog Dreaming, The Man From Hong Kong, and Mad Dog Morgan. In addition to Australian films, Umbrella Entertainment exhibits rare and classic cult films in Australia and New Zealand. Notable examples include the restoration of the 1990 remake of Night of the Living Dead and Night of the Creeps. All restorations are scanned in either 4K and 2K from original film materials.[2]
