Rooftop Movies

Rooftop Movies is Perth’s first rooftop cinema, located atop a multi-story carpark in Northbridge, Western Australia.[1]

It is open during Perth’s summer months and screens a variety of films from cult classics to recent releases.[2] Artrage produces Rooftop Movies, thanks to a partnership with City of Perth Parking.[3]

The pilot program for Rooftop Movies occurred in 2012, with an opening night screening of The Big Lebowski selling out in a matter of minutes.[4] Films are sometimes accompanied by pre and post screening entertainment, such as DJs, bands or live comedy and the program often includes weekly and one-off special events.

In 2012, Rooftop Movies featured a special event screening of Napoleon Dynamite followed by a DJ set by Efren Ramirez who played Pedro Sanchez in the film.[2]

In 2013, Rooftop Movies hosted the Miss Universe Australia WA State Final.[5] The space was also used as a venue for Fringe World Festival 2013.[6]

Rooftop Movies regularly features on the list of the best outdoor cinemas in the world.[7][8][9]
