Footscray Flix
Next date: Thursday, 27 August 2026 | 06:00 PM
to Sunday, 30 August 2026 | 09:00 PM
Presented in partnership with Sun Theatre Yarraville, Footscray Flix is a retro call back to Footscray’s ghost cinemas.
The central precinct once hosted four cinemas within 500m of each other - La Scala, Trocadero, the Grand, and Barkly Theatres. The last of these cinemas closed in 1987. That’s where our programming begins! Four nights of 80s and 90s popcorn classics with a nod to some memorable films of the West.
Step inside a custom-built boutique 'pop-up' 100 seat cinema that recalls the heady days of event cinema. The days of big budget no holds barred movies watched from comfy seats and red carpeted flooring.
Tickets at 1980s prices!
Enjoy drinks from Barbarian Brewing or grab a pre-show bite from nearby Harry+Larry's General Store, Slice Girls West, Conway Fish Trading, or a cheeky cocktail from neighbourhood favourite Back Alley Sally's.
