Roaring Twenties Cinema

Roaring Twenties Cinema is a unique opportunity to enjoy a night at the movies from 100 years ago, screening at theatres around Brisbane.

The nostalgic silent film night, which is organized by Brisbane film buff Joel Archer (of Golden Oldies), is a bi-monthly affair, happening at Palace Cinemas James Street or the Temperance Garden Bar in Arcana event space at Moorooka.

The next screening, on Wednesday 23rd October at 7pm in The Garden Bar, will be the spooky Double Bill:

Intermission 10 mins

3) Dante's Inferno 1911: A shocking and visually arresting film that follows the adventures of Dante as he travels down the eight realms of hell.

*Couple's tickets are available for $109, including 2 tickets, a hot food platter and a bottle of wine.
