Starlight Cinema 2013

Overview

Tired of queuing up for outdoor cinemas over in the eastern suburbs and only managing to secure, like, a 4x4cm patch of grass? Well, fret no longer, outdoorsy-types. Over on the other side of the bridge, North Sydney's Starlight Cinema is returning for a full season of killer films, and the best bit is there's grass aplenty for your picnicking pleasure as it's staged on A SPORTING OVAL.

Chillax over a stack of films we've fallen in love with this past year, including feelgood hit The Sapphires, the surprising Oscar-contender Beasts of the Southern Wild, and the Ang Lee stunner Life of Pi. But what we really love is the ample parking available on site, not to mention the fancy Star Class seating, which offers prime film viewing, reserved deckchair seating, drinks wait-service, and a food hamper filled with dinner and dessert. FYI, it’ll set you back $55 per person, but if you're out to impress, it’s worth every penny.

Gates open at 7pm and screenings start at sundown. That's around 8.30pm in January and 8pm in February and early March.
