The stars come out at night, and now so can Brisbane with the announcement today that Dendy Cinema, the home of quality cinema, are bringing an unforgettable new outdoor cinema experience to the iconic Brisbane Powerhouse, the city’s hub of contemporary art and culture.
Nothing says you’re in Queensland more than gathering with your friends and family and enjoying the outdoor lifestyle year-round, so what better way to mix the love of film and cinema-going than with the ultimate outdoor movie experience. No longer do you have to stay inside for your cultural fix as Dendy Powerhouse Outdoor Cinema, Brisbane’s first permanent outdoor cinema, and its picturesque surroundings of the Brisbane river and New Farm Park fuse together for the most stylish and unique escape into the world of movies.
“We are delighted to be partnering with the Brisbane Powerhouse to deliver a stylish and sophisticated, all year round, outdoor cinema experience for the Brisbane community. True to the Dendy brand, Dendy Powerhouse will screen high quality curated content across a wide range of genres, aiming to transport audiences on a journey like never before”, stated Dendy Cinemas CEO, Sharon Strickland.
Dendy Powerhouse Outdoor Cinema will be showcasing a program of films every Thursday – Sunday evenings, catering for movie enthusiasts of all ages with a carefully curated mix arthouse and mainstream programming. In line with this programming strategy, Dendy will look to any opportunity that may present itself – be it arthouse breakouts, marquee blockbusters, concert films, children’s content, theatre productions, as well as restorations and re-releases. Dendy will also screen content and events that are both thematically complementary, and contrasting, to upcoming curations and exhibitions to maintain audience engagement in ways that a standard cinema isn’t able to.
Patrons will be fully immersed with a massive outdoor screen atop custom-made 40ft shipping containers and wireless headphones with superior sound quality, whilst reclining back in outdoor lounge chairs with wide armrests. Patrons can order a glass of wine or beer, pair it with a cheese-box or partake in one of Dendy’s classic cinema snacks, including the lovingly hand-scooped choc tops all from the comfort of their seat via a QR code.
Dendy Powerhouse Outdoor Cinema is set to open Friday, November 10 with the highly anticipated film, The Marvels, followed by the perfect Dendy mix of blockbusters and arthouse with a film line-up including The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, Dumb Money, The Killer, Bad Behaviour, Leave the World Behind, The Royal Hotel, and Saltburn.
