We’re back -- screenings for 2014 kick off tonight with our free screening of THOR: THE DARK WORLD at 7:30 PM!

Come along and invite everyone you know to check out Marvel’s latest superhero blockbuster on us at Australia’s largest film society.

Our brand new posters and booklets will be available for collection too.

We can't wait to begin what is looking to be a fantastic year in film, and we've got an amazing line-up of films to kick it all off in our first week, so read on to find out what’s on!
