St George Open Air Cinema
The St George Open Air Cinema will be returning to Mrs Macquarie’s Point this summer, screening major new releases and some of the year’s best art-house.
Overview
We’ve got a pretty decent skyline down in Sydney, so it’s nice that the folks at St George are continuing to make proper use of it even when the sun has gone down. The St George Open Air Cinema will be returning to Mrs Macquarie’s Point this summer, screening major new releases and some of the year’s best art-house films. Obscuring just the right amount of the killer harbour view will be a three story high screen hydraulically raised from the water, on which all 36 of the scheduled films will come to life with the help of state-of-the-art Dolby Digital surround sound.
This season’s line up includes Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson’s rendition of The Adventures of Tintin, Spanish maestro Almodóvar’s unique tale of psychological obsession and sexual perversity The Skin I Live In, and the high-action heist movie Contraband. You can’t BYO food or booze to this outdoor cinema, but why would you want to eat sandwiches when you can wash down a hand-made chili king prawn pizza from the on-site bar and restaurant with some Cloudy Bay sauv that hasn’t been warming up in your bag for the last hour?
Advance sales commence at 9am on 15 December and can be purchased through the official website or from Ticketmaster retail outlets.
