OUR STORY

Now in its 28th season, OpenAir has become an iconic and much loved feature of Sydney’s arts and cultural calendar.

Set against a backdrop that spans the Opera House, Harbour Bridge and city skyline, OpenAir is that ultimate Sydney summer moment.

The film program is positioned as a festival of film, and those who’ve strutted our red carpet include Nicole Kidman, Eric Bana, Cate Blanchett, Simon Baker, Hugo Weaving, Mia Wasikowska, Jemima Khan, Frances O’Connor and Oscar-winning directors Jane Campion and Danny Boyle.

SEASON HIGHLIGHTS:

"One of the most magical events our city offers - a silver screen rising out of the harbour, the glorious backdrop of bridge, Opera House and stars. But mostly I love that it’s a triumph of ideas over rules."

ANGELA MOLLARD, THE SUNDAY TELEGRAPH

Screen & Surround Sound

Our giant cinema screen is hydraulically raised to stand three-storeys-high over Sydney Harbour. Dolby digital surround sound, 4k projection and comfortable seating for 1,700 guests create a premium cinema experience.

"Of all the many wonderful experiences that Sydney town has to offer I fair dinkum wonder if there is one better than OpenAir cinema at Mrs Macquaries Pt."

PETER FITZSIMONS, THE SUN-HERALD
