Footscray Flix: POINT BREAK

A four-night pop-up film festival bringing 80s and 90s classics to the heart of Footscray. Think big-screen nostalgia, DJs, cocktails - it's a night out, not just a screening.

POINT BREAK

In Los Angeles, a gang of bank robbers who call themselves The Ex-Presidents commit their crimes while wearing masks of Reagan, Carter, Nixon and Johnson. Believing that the members of the gang could be surfers, the F.B.I. sends young agent Johnny Utah to the beach undercover to mix with the surfers and gather information.

EVENT INFO

Footscray Flix is a tribute to Footscray's cinematic past, where four large cinemas once operated within 500m of one another. The last of these cinemas closed in 1987. That’s where our programming begins! Four nights of 80s and 90s popcorn classics with a nod to some memorable films of the West.

Enjoy pre-show drinks from Barbarian Brewing and DJs spinning tunes between films. Tickets at 1980s prices!
