Movies by the Boulevard
Free outdoor films return to Sydney's inner west.
Overview
Warm weather means heading outside, and not only soaking up the sun, but enjoying summer's sultry evenings. It also means finding as many ways to do just that as possible, and how better than heading west and enjoying a free film?
Every year for the past seventeen years, Sydney Olympic Park has played host to Movies by the Boulevard, a free summer film fest that's all about the open-air experience. It's back for 2018, and, as held on a selection of evenings between January 12 and 28, it's serving up a feast of 2017 flicks for your outdoor viewing pleasure. Missed Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 the first time? Love Wonder Woman, and want to watch it on the big screen again? Eager for a dose of Lion on Australia Day? They're all on the agenda, and more.
The rest of the lineup spans from the lush fairytale of Beauty and the Beast, the satirical animation of The LEGO Batman Movie, primates against people in War for the Planet of the Apes and this year's other huge Aussie hit, Ali's Wedding. Gates open at 6pm each night, with films kicking off at 8.30pm. BYO picnic, or grab some food or drink onsite.
