11 films. 11 days. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to watch them all.

From genre-defining action and sci-fi blockbusters to auteur-driven dramas and absurdist epics, Tom Cruise has done it all, and has done it without a stunt double. In the lead up to his upcoming film DIGGER, we're looking back at the illustrious career of the Last Movie Star.

CRUISE CONTROL screens daily from 20-30 September. 3 & 6-film multi-passes available.

Ten Commandments. Ten Episodes. Ten Hours.

We're thrilled to present a rare screening of all ten episodes of Krzysztof Kieślowski’s epic masterpiece DEKALOG, one of the greatest cinematic achievements of the twentieth century.

Drawing inspiration from the Ten Commandments, each work grapples with timeless and existential truths about life, death, love, truth, and time.

No rivalry here, just a couple of winners! We're stoked to host director Isaac Elliot and producer/cinematographer Noel Smyth for a Q&A screening of their MIFF Audience Award winning documentary HARD AS PUCK later this year.

It’s Rats in the Ranks meets Cool Runnings with a little more swearing and a lot more bruises. HARD AS PUCK follows a struggling para ice hockey club in Western Australia. With no money, no sponsors, and barely enough players, they rely on grants to get by, but when the enigmatic founder (and chief grant procurer) prepares to step away, the club is thrown into turmoil...

Only on Saturday 7 November, 3pm. Tickets are on sale now.

Undeniably ambitious, exhilarating, and ripe for reevaluation in 2026, SOUTHLAND TALES screens on Friday 28 and Monday 31 August as part of our Cult Classics series.
