Overview

When it comes to watching movies in the great outdoors, Melburnians have plenty of options to choose from. Yet, few outdoor cinemas boast a program as eclectic as the Gasworks Backyard Cinema. Popping up at the Gasworks Arts Park every Friday evening between now and the middle of March, this is your chance to enjoy a few lesser-known titles while relaxing under the stars.

The season begins on Friday, January 15 with All the Time in the World, a doco about the importance of getting back to nature, presented in partnership with Port Phillip EcoCentre. The following week will feature a screening of the original Hairspray presented by the Melbourne Queer Film Festival, who'll also be back on February 5 with John Water's Cry Baby starring a baby-faced Johnny Depp.

Other highlights include recent Australian health documentary That Sugar Film, acclaimed indie comedy Guidance and the Melbourne premiere of the locally-made Indigenous dance film Spear. There'll also be a number of food vendors on site, ensuring you've got something to snack on during the film.
