ABOUT

ABOUT US

Savoury Cinema began as a small movie club between friends. Since then, the club has grown by word of mouth and is now a monthly non-profit movie screening held in a boutique cinema. We've screened some of the best, the weirdest and in some cases the very worst of classic and cult movies. It's a completely different experience every time and the movie is a surprise every time.

Attendees pay whatever they can to watch the main movie. Before it starts, there'll be a pre-roll of fun trailers, retro adverts and other clips. Attendees also receive popcorn and a box of cinema lollies. If the budget allows for it, drinks and prizes will also be included.

Look out for the themed movie specials at Halloween, Christmas and at other times.
