Overview

Almost three full decades after the departure of the old Valhalla Theatre, a brand new pop-up is set to turn Richmond into Melbourne’s home of cult cinema once again.

Operating just a few blocks away from its namesake’s original location on Victoria Street, The Val Cinema is part of the suburb's newly minted food and cultural precinct, the Swan Street Chamber of Commerce. Running Thursdays through Sundays, the 42-seat cinema has lined up an awesome program of classic and eclectic film titles, several of which qualify as absolute must-sees.

Fittingly, the season begins with The Blues Brothers, which screened at the original Valhalla – first in Richmond and then at its subsequent home in Northcote – every Friday night for more than 20 years. Other highlights include Martin Scorsese’s The King of Comedy, William Friedkin’s Sorcerer and Robert Zemeckis’ Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, as well as a more recent would-be cult film in Harmony Korine’s Spring Breakers.
