A Cinema In Your Own Backyard …. Almost!

Local Community

There’s something in the air, and no it’s not love... but it will have you feeling just as ‘on top of the world!’ Chisholm and Gamon want to be ‘open’ with you, giving you the lowdown on Melbourne’s open air cinema hotspots for Summer. Popcorn and picnic blankets – mandatory!


Rooftop Cinema

A cinema on an iconic building’s roof in the heart of the city – the Rooftop Cinema theatre is devoted to showcasing arthouse, classic and recent-release films in a unique setting. Rooftop Cinema is a new experience for many, and one which gives Melbournians a break from the hustle and bustle of hectic city life. It’s just you, the sky, a fabulous film, and the shimmering skyline. If we still haven’t got your attention then we are CERTAIN the next three-letter word will... BAR! That’s right! The Rooftop Bar is open daily from midday and is licensed until 1am- perfect for a before or perhaps even after film drink.  You can also grab a bite to eat from the All Day Burger Shack on the roof – serving until the start of each screening.  

Where: On top of Curtin House. 252 Swanston St in Melbourne’s CBD (between Little Bourke and Lonsdale Street).

 

Ben & Jerry’s Openair Cinemas.

Sit by the bay and relax whilst viewing one of the many amazing films Ben & Jerry’s Openair Cinemas has on offer this summer. The first week of screenings has already commenced, and it went off with a bang! Due to the overwhelming response had, we advise you book tickets in advance, especially for family fun day playing Turbo on Saturday. Family fun day also includes live music, games on the lawn and free Ben & Jerry’s for everyone! It’s more than just a cinema, it’s an experience. (Plus icecream. Yes.)
