Deckchair Cinema /
Darwin Film Society
Deckchair Cinema, operated by the
Darwin Film Society, is unique in many ways. It is fully independent and screens
films that are often otherwise unavailable to local audiences.
The outdoor setting, on the edge of Darwin Harbour is absolutely stunning. The
lights reflected from anchored and passing ships make for a serene periphery.
The wonderful sunsets over the sea every evening are a stunning backdrop for
people who come early with their picnic dinners.
Run by the community-based Darwin Film Society, the Deckchair Cinema runs seven
nights a week during the dry season screenings a range of movies from family
favourites to festivals and foreign films.
Screening: Every evening, double features on Friday and Saturday from April to
November. Visit the website for program details. |
