When the city is draped in twinkly lights and outdoor festivities, Christmas isn’t far behind. Riding in on that festive summer activity sleigh is Cine-mas, a new pop-up cinema on the QVB rooftop.
The film line-up is sticking to a classic Christmas colour scheme. Enjoy the surreal animation style of The Polar Express, quote the script of long-standing family favourite Home Alone, or have a jolly giggle with the always charming Elf while the stars shine overhead and Christmas lights brighten the city streets. The cheerful screenings will only have a brief run from December 5-7, with a family-friendly showing at 6.30pm and an adults-only experience from 9pm.
As you’d expect from a festive outdoor cinema experience, you’ll be able to load up on popcorn and sugar-filled snacks, while also enjoying holiday beverages from the open-air rooftop bar. This secluded space on the QVB’s rooftop is normally not accessible to the public, so it’s a great opportunity to have a geez at the splendid structure from a new angle.
