St Kilda’s Astor Theatre is one of Melbourne’s oldest cinemas, first opening back in 1936. It’s one of Australia’s only still remaining single screen cinemas – full of that old style cinemagoing; gold curtains lace the screen, a bevy of seating across stalls and a dress circle, and even the opportunity to see a movie in old formats.
There’s a mix of the old, new and different in terms of programming; the newest release, West Side Story, classics like Parasite, and even rare movies like Gorillaz: Song Machine Live in Concert.
The Astor is one of the last independent film houses left in Victoria, the last of Melbourne’s grand old art deco film palaces, and has been in operation for 86 odd years.
You’d be barking mad to miss this event – get your tickets before they sell out by heading here.
