Movies Under the Stars

Overview

Thursday night is movie night at Point Park in Yarra's Edge, Docklands, with the return of the popular openair films series Movies Under the Stars. After a successful first season last summer, this year's program once again features a trio of recent favourites, beginning with Dawn of the Planet of the Apes followed by Skyfall and everyone favourite new-Disney guilty pleasure Frozen.

Live music will while away the last few hours of daylight, and each movie will also be preceded by a short film from a local director. Dinner-wise, you can choose from a number of food trucks who’ll be cooking on site, or you can choose to BYO picnic.

Best of all, unlike most of the city's favourite outdoor cinemas, entry into screenings is absolutely free. They’re even sorting out your transport for you, with a free return ferry service departing from Federation Square’s Riverside Berth at 6.30pm. As the icing on the cake, gold coins collected on the night will be donated to Melbourne-based charity Kids Under Cover.
