Lido on the Roof 2022–23

Spring has arrived, and with it comes the smell of fresh popcorn as starlight screenings return to Lido's Rooftop Cinema in Hawthorn. Perched atop the Glenferrie Road picture house, the outdoor screen will once again light up with a selection of new release movies in the open air — from Thursday, October 27.

The 2022–23 Lido on the Roof season kicks off with Billy Eichner-starring rom-com Bros, plus sessions of Barbarian and the similarly scary Terrifier 2 and Sissy around Halloween. The Woman King and Smile help round out the rooftop cinema's first week, although that's just the beginning of the program.

Also on the bill: the Harry Styles-starring Don't Worry Darling, coming-of-age tale Armageddon Time, much-anticipated Marvel sequel Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, the sleuthing Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, and festive hijinks with Violent Night and Die Hard — with more titles set to be added over spring and summer.

Always a hot ticket, sessions sell out quickly here — if you need any more motivation to get booking.

Also, don't forget that the bar opens an hour before session start times for rooftop — and sunset — drinks.
