Overview

Whether it's the roof at Curtin House, the grounds of the Abbotsford Convent, the Royal Botanic Gardens or the sands of St Kilda Beach, when it comes to experiencing films in the great outdoors, Melbourne is spoiled for choice. But there's only location you can watch a movie under the stars without fear of getting rained out. With sessions every Tuesday evening in the Southgate Centre atrium, patrons of Southgate Cinema get to have their cake and eat it too. And better yet — it's absolutely free.

Highlights of the most recent Southgate Cinema program include the inspiring soccer documentary Next Goal Wins, about the attempts of the much-maligned American Samoa team to qualify for the 2014 World Cup; the gripping Oceanic survival tale All Is Lost, starring the great Robert Redford as a lone sailor lost at sea; plus the most recent X-Men and Captain America movies for anyone looking for a dose of Hollywood action.

Given the attractive price tag, demand for seats is high. Ticket reservations can be made online and need to be collected in person an hour before the scheduled start time. For more information and to the view the full summer program, go here.
