MIFF Summer Screenings at Bunjil Place

Overview

There's no denying the power of a seeing a movie on a big screen with an audience, as the Melbourne International Film Festival celebrates every year. One thing that the fest's winter event doesn't include, however, is outdoor sessions amid the city's frosty weather — so it pops up each summer at Bunjil Place instead.

Between Thursday, February 1–Sunday, February 4, you can head along to check out a selection of past MIFF flicks from 2023's fest on the site's outdoor screen. Nightly tickets cost $10, a price that includes a drink upon arrival. Or, see all four sessions for $35.

The movie setup also includes pre-film DJs and live performances, as well as a range of other food and drink options.

As for what you'll be watching, it all kicks off with a range of short films on the Thursday evening, with focusing on cultural experiences the common theme. Then, Friday night sees documentary Australia's Open get a-flickering, while Saturday is all about Noora Niasari's Melbourne-shot Shayda. The Sunday program celebrates a music legend via Ego: The Michael Gudinski Story.

Pre-screening festivities begin between 6.30–7pm depending on the night, with the night's movie — or shorts — commencing at 8pm.
