Speakeasy at Rooftop Cinema

Overview

Outdoor cinema season has descended upon us once again. With Malteser's Moonlight Cinema in the Botanic Gardens, Ben & Jerry's OpenAir on the St Kilda Foreshore, and Rooftop Cinema hitting up the city skyline, the average movie-goer is spoilt for choice. But what if you're not so into the big hits? Do you have no interest in the latest Richard Curtis film? Are you already bored with the idea of seeing Sandra Bullock in space? Speakeasy might have just the thing for you.

Though Rooftop Cinema has already launched for the year with The Great Gatsby on December 4, their separate program presented by Speakeasy Cinema is about to kick off this Tuesday, December 10. Known for being the cheeky underdog of the local film scene, Speakeasy will be taking over the Tuesday slots at Rooftop for the next month or so with six select screenings of indie hits. These include Lena Dunham's pre-Girls breakaway flick Tiny Furniture, Noah Baumbach's goofy coming of age story Frances Ha, and the controversial documentary about animals in captivity, Blackfish.
