Lido on the Roof 2018-19
Hawthorn's rooftop cinema returns.
Overview
Summer is in the air, and with it the smell of fresh popcorn, as starlight screenings return to Lido's Rooftop Cinema in Hawthorn. Perched atop the eight-screen picture house overlooking Glenferrie Road, the outdoor screen will light up from this week with a selection of classic and new release movies in the open air.
The Lido on the Roof season kicks off on Friday, October 19 with A Star Is Born. Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper's team up is one of a number of hotly anticipated summer movies on the program, with other highlights including Disney's Mary Poppins Returns, Luca Guadagnino's remake of Italian 1977 horror flick Suspiria and Bohemian Rhapsody — a biographical drama following Queen frontman Freddie Mercury. Oh, and they're also screening a little wizarding film called Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald.
They're also bringing back their 'cult calendar' selection, with iconic retro titles including Baz Luhrmann's Romeo + Juliet, Matilda, The Lion King and Kindergarten Cop, plus a screening of Labyrinth.
