Celluloid Dreams: 35mm presentations
Tuesday 19 July from 6:30am to 9:30pm Tuesday 30 August from 6:30pm to 9:30pm Tuesday 27 September from 6:30pm to 9:30pm Monday 31 October from 6:30pm to 9:30pm Tuesday 6 December from 6:20pm to 9:20pm
Dendy Newtown is thrilled to announce a special new program entitled Celluloid Dreams, which celebrates the "reel" celluloid film experience. Our programmers have sourced the original 35mm prints of seven classic films from the likes of Martin Scorsese, Oliver Stone, Stanley Kubrick, and more.
The special 35mm program kicks off on April 26 with our screening of Scorsese’s gangster masterpiece Goodfellas and concludes on December 6 with a 50th-anniversary screening of Andrei Tarkovsky’s sci-fi classic Solaris.
The program also includes Stone’s Natural Born Killers (June 7), Mathieu Kassovitz's La Haime* (July 19), John Landis’ The Blues Brothers (August 30), Francis Ford Coppola’s The Conversation (September 27), and a special Halloween screening of Kubrick’s The Shining.
*Due to damage to the print, the previously announced 35mm screening of Rashomon on July 19 has unfortunately been cancelled. We will instead hold a standard non-35mm screening of Rashomon on this date. We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused.
