IMB Sunset Cinema 2014

Overview

Sunset Cinema is a world away from the stuffy theatres you're used to. Nothing smells of stale popcorn and there are no pimply fifteen year olds trying to upsell choc tops. Instead, IMB Sunset Cinema invites you to enjoy a movie in the wilderness. Or, at least a kind of comparative wilderness for us in the inner suburbs.

Kicking off on November 7 at the Lizard Log Amphitheatre in the Western Sydney Parklands, Sunset Cinema will be showing three movies a week until early December. These will range from new releases (Gone Girl, This Is Where I Leave You, Fury) to old, guilty pleasures (Dirty Dancing, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles).

To make the evening perfect, you can hire beanbags, or bring along some squishy chairs to stretch out on. Picnic food can be brought from home or, for the lazier among us, gourmet pies will be available courtesy of The Baker & The Builder in North Parramatta. There's also a candy bar on site featuring all the old favourites. Quenching the thirst the only way that an icy summer cider can, a fully licensed bar will also be in operation for the duration of the program.

FYI: Friday nights are family nights so, if you want to avoid screaming children, maybe opt for a Thursday or Saturday session.

The IMB Sunset Cinema will be open for good times from November 7 until the December 6. Movies start at 6.30pm each Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Check out the full program and buy tickets here.
