Brisbane Openair Cinema

Overview

The nights are cooler, the mosquitoes have eased up and hopefully the rain will hold off for awhile because Openair Cinema is back in Brisbane. After screening movies on a rooftop in Melbourne and a beach in Sydney, it's now Brisbane's turn to play host to Openair Cinema. The travelling cinema is set to make itself at home amongst the lush greenery at South Bank Parkland's Rainforest Green, so get ready for some balmy, peaceful autumn nights underneath the moon and the silver screen.

In keeping with previous years, the Brisbane leg of the Openair tour will once again showcase both international movies and local musical talent. Previous pre-movie performances have included artists such as Dan Parsons, Tara Simmons and The Little Stevies, and this year a whole breed of new up-and-coming acoustic acts are set to take to the Sunset Stage. A selection of tasty gourmet food and frosty beverages from the licensed bar will also be available to enjoy each night.

This year's film schedule is a mixed bag of new blockbusters, rom-coms, Oscar winning performances and cult classics to keep just about everyone enthused. Our picks? Watching Black Swan outside at night is bound to increase the thrill, When Harry Met Sally is the classically cliched date movie, while The Never Ending Story and Labyrinth are must-sees for those who are keen to revisit their childhoods via the big screen.
