Dust off the picnic blanket and beanbag, because the team behind Moonlight Cinema have just revealed their 2015/2016 program – complete with advance screenings of 15 new release films before they reach the general public.

Suffragette starring Meryl Streep, Carey Mulligan and Helena Bonham Carter will officially open the season, followed by two screenings of the final Hunger Games film, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2. Elsewhere in the program, be the first to catch Jenifer Lawrence in the hotly anticipated Joy with Robert De Niro and Bradley Cooper, as well as a preview screenings of Pixar’s The Good Dinosaur and Goosebumps starring Jack Black.

Other new release films slated for a moonlight screening include Leonardo DiCaprio in The Revenant, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler’s Sisters alongside Love the Coopers featuring John Goodman, Diane Keaton and Olivia Wilde in a Christmas themed caper.

Moonlight Cinemas continue to provide a selection of classic and cult-favourite films, with this season being no exception. Dirty Dancing, Top Gun and Ferris Bueller’s Day Off are all on offer as well as a special sing-a-long version of Grease.

Capping it off, Moonlight Cinema remains a BYO event as well as featuring an LA style food truck with a fully licensed bar serving up pork sliders, parmesan truffle fries, chilli cheese dogs and Nutella doughnuts.

The Moonlight Cinema will run in Centennial Park from Thursday December 3 – Sunday March 27. Head to their website for a full program, session times and tickets.
