Belgrave's Cameo Outdoor Cinema Has Announced Some of Their Summer Program

The beloved Cameo Cinema will once again showcase some of the summer's most talked-about films on its magnificent outdoor movie screen under the stars. From mid-November until March next year, audiences will get the chance to nestle down in deckchairs and beanbags, with craft beer, homemade choc-tops and freshly popped popcorn in hand. If that's not worth the drive out to Belgrave, then we just don't know what is.

While the full Cameo Outdoor Cinema summer program has yet to be revealed, a handful of early titles already have us pretty excited. The season begins with a midnight, moonlight screening of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. Remember: if you don't come dressed as a wizard, you're doing it wrong.

Speaking of fantastic beasts, animal lovers will also be pleased with a pair of Bring Your Pet sessions, of A Dog's Purpose and Red Dog: True Blue. We're a little more sceptical about a Valentine's Day showing of Fifty Shades Darker, although the wine and ice cream giveaways should at least keep you partially distracted from the movie. According to The Cameo website, the remainder of the program will be filled out by "the summer's hottest new releases and some old favourites too."

It doesn't hurt that the Cameo concessions are a cut above what you'll find at your local shopping centre multiplex. They've got craft beer and boutique wines, edamame, and lollies from The Sassafras Sweet Co., to name but a few. Alternatively, you can bring a picnic of your own – this is one cinema where you won't have ushers pestering you about bringing in outside food.

The Cameo Outdoor Cinema will kick off on Thursday, November 17 at 1628 Burwood Highway, Belgrave. For more information visit cameocinemas.com.au.
