Summer Films
Fed Square is excited to announce our summer film series. We’ll be showcasing a diverse selection of films, including some Australian favourites like The Big Steal, BMX Bandits, and Muriel’s Wedding. We’ll also be screening the classic thriller Dead Calm and the heartwarming musical Bran Nue Dae.
For fans of romantic comedies, we’ll be showing Love, Simon and the iconic drag queen road trip movie Priscilla Queen of the Desert. And for those looking for something a little more thought-provoking, we’ll be screening Radiance, a powerful and moving portrayal of Indigenous women in Australia.
As if that wasn’t enough, we’ll also be offering free ice cream (until stocks last) from 6pm each day in January and from 8.45pm each day in February, so bring your friends and family and enjoy a summer evening at Fed Square. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to see some of your favourite films on the big screen.
