Fitzroy Film Fair

Overview

Peel yourself away from Netflix and go digging for some cult classics at Fitzroy's first quarterly Film Fair. Frolic amongst Melbourne’s finest film buffs and collectors, where you can either buy, sell, swap or barter films and their associated paraphernalia. Discounted Blu-ray and DVDs will be available to purchase, alongside film posters, collectables, clothing, 16mm projections and plenty more. Plus, there'll be a VHS swap meet (yes, VCRs still exist, people).

The fair will be held at Fitzroy’s super fun tiki bar, The LuWow, so you can be assured there’ll be live music brought to you by Mick Dog’s Boneyard and mai tais for everyone. Even if you have nothing to swap or sell, there are also door prizes on the day that dish out prizes every hour, so you’re likely to come home with something.

Whether you’re a B-grade bandit or an arthouse fanatic, you’re sure to stumble across some gold that your media streaming provider of choice couldn’t offer you in a million years. Happy trading.
