Southgate is pleased to announce another season of films at one of Melbourne’s newest attractions. Come and enjoy a range of quality films at the unique Southgate Cinema. Best of all, its free!

The cinema experience

The Southgate Cinema is unique to Melbourne in many ways. It provides an outdoor experience while remaining undercover inside the centre, rug up and get cosy relaxing back in a deck chair under the open atrium and watch the city sky fade away.

The Cinema is also Melbourne’s only silent cinema – patrons are provided with individual headphones and audio kits to listen to the film, while sitting back and relaxing amidst the hustle and bustle of the restaurant and shopping precinct.

As each film begins after dusk, patrons can enjoy dinner, drinks or browse through Southgate’s retail stores before each movie commences. Many restaurants have express dining offers which cater to pre-theatre and movie patrons, allowing you time to meet with friends and catch up before the movie commences.

Bookings and screening times

Southgate Cinema runs every Tuesday and Wednesday evening. Movies commence at dusk. Check the times listed in the film descriptions on the current program.

Patrons with pre-booked tickets are required to check-in an hour before each film commences. The ticket desk is open two hours before film commencement and any tickets not claimed 30 minutes before film commencement may be re-released to waiting patrons.
