Footscray Flix: TRAINSPOTTING

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.

TRAINSPOTTING

Danny Boyle's explosive film tracks the misadventures of young men in Edinburgh trying to find their way out of joblessness, aimless relationships and drug addiction. Some are successful, while others hopelessly are not. Based on Irvine Walsh's novel, Trainspotting melds grit with poetry, resulting in a film of harsh truths and stunning grace.

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!
