Sunset Cinema
Yep, Melbourne's got another outdoor cinema.
Overview
The clocks have ticked forward, and we all know what that means: the outdoor cinema season is almost here. Movie lovers in Melbourne are spoiled for choice when it comes to openair screens — and from the looks of things that doesn't appear to be changing any time soon. Joining old favourites like Moonlight in the Botanic Gardens, Rooftop in the CBD and Shadow Electric at Abbotsford Convent, Sunset Cinema is the city's latest pop-up picture house — and we can't wait to check it out.
Sunset ran outdoor cinemas in North Sydney, Canberra and Wollongong last year, but this is their first Victorian venture. Located at the Gasworks Arts Park in Albert Park, Sunset Cinema kicks off on Friday, November 4, before running Wednesdays through Saturdays until November 26. The program skews towards more recent films including Captain Fantastic, The Magnificent Seven, Bridget Jones's Baby and The Girl on the Train, although they have squeezed one retro title in there: Dirty Dancing on November 23.
They've also put together a top-notch food and beverage offering, in order to keep your stomach from grumbling during the film. Dinner will be taken care of by some of Melbourne's food trucks, including Mamma Van, Boeri Bros and Greek Street Food. As for liquid refreshment, the site will have a fully licensed bar, serving 4 Pines craft beers and MadFish wines.
