Fully refurbished with our new seats, tables for your drinks and more spacious aisles for comfort.Īlso, Tarrentino was in town and surprised the public seeing his 70mm H8full Eight in The Barkly theatre with a Q.A and introduced the movie with co-stars The once fabulous Footscray cinema, is the new name for the current cinema, based in the dress circle of the original Sun. Another feature is a large screen and outstanding 4k Digital projection.
The Wurlitzer organ is from the original Grand and has been kindly donated by Brian Davis.
It was run by Yarraville’s very own Yoda - Brian Davis, who before that was a projectionist at the Sun, as he is again today! Our largest cinema, utilizing the original stalls and proscenium area of the Sun. Named after the last cinema to close operations in Footscray, is the Sun's largest cinema.
in to the movie with real wine/beer glasses: rock: It just a great experience to watch a movie in such a beautiful theatre and besides current new release films they are also showing the H8ful Eight, Lawrence of Arabia and Dunkirk in 70mm!!!!!!!!!ĭoes anyone else have or enjoy visiting an old-school boutique cinema near them and if you do, please post pics. You can sit out in the street on the grass covered street before or after the movie and eat and drink food from the surrounding cafes and restaurants and because everybody treats the experience with respect they allow you to take beer/wine etc. A coffee table is shared between all seats in each group, which are noted for their ample leg room. A popular feature of the current cinema is the original club seating which has all been fully refurbished with suede upholstery. All of the new screens have the original architecture of the theatre. Following its reopening in 1995, the Sun's large auditorium was divided into four cinemas, and another two were added to the rear. Today, the Sun Theatre seats 700 patrons in eight boutique cinemas. My mum grew up in the area and used to go there as a teenager (she is now 68) The Sun Theatre originally opened in 1938 as a single-screen cinema seating 1,050 patrons. The Sun Theatre is my favourite where I live in Australia (Melbourne). They call their cinemas by numbers whereas my favourite cinema gives them names. I think the huge multiplexes are boring with no character. I thought I might start a thread about local independent theatres/cinema's.
