Those living in or travelling to Georgia, USA this March will be able to relive several cinema classics on the big screen, including Goldfinger from 1964, and Hitchcock's Rear Window from 1954.

The fifth annual Robert Osborne Film Festival will be held at The Classic Center in downtown Athens, Georgia, USA, on March 19th-22nd.

The festival founder Robert Osborne is the prime time host of Turner Classic Movies and is a columnist for The Hollywood Reporter.
