Footscray Flix

Footscray Flix is a tribute to Footscray’s cinematic past, where four large cinemas once operated within 500m of one another. 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. Enjoy pre-show drinks from Barbarian Brewing and DJs spinning tunes between films. Tickets at 1980s prices!

There are 9 film sessions over the 4 days. See http://www.maribyrnong.vic.gov.au/festivalcity/Festivals/Footscray-Flix for the film program details.

Location: 34 Moreland St, Footscray 3011
