Addison Rd Moonlight Cinema

Overview

Some things are set in stone. Like barbecues on Australia Day, or like Sydney's lust for cinema en plein air; summer sets in and we're just gasping to find a place to enjoy our favourite flicks in the great outdoors.

If you missed out on tickets at the various established outdoor cinemas, try the free Addison Rd Moonlight Cinema. Marrickville's community centre is offering four spectacular films over four summer nights from the 16th January through to the 6th of March. On opening night enjoy the screen adaption of Alexander McCall Smith's immensely popular series The No.1 Ladies Detective Agency . The following fortnight be enraged with Michael Moore's stirring doco Sicko, and on the anniversary of the apology to the Stolen Generation two weeks later, celebrate with your sisters and watch Radiance, the story of three sisters who come together after the death of their mother. Finally, the Addison Rd program wraps up with Turtles Can Fly, one of the first feature films made in Iraq since the recent war about a group of orphans creating their own community on the eve of the fall of Saddam Hussein.

All films will start at sunset, and some snacks will be available on the night. So if you like your flicks with a side of stars and fresh air, you know where to go.
