Starlight Cinema is pleased to announce its seventh season at North Sydney Oval and its new Naming Rights sponsor, ME Bank. It promises an unforgettable cinematic experience and line-up of great recent release films for everyone.
There is no better way to enjoy a balmy summer’s night than relaxing under the stars watching a fantastic movie at ME Bank Starlight Cinema, which is back bigger than ever for a longer, 10 week season. “That’s what our customers want!” said Producer, Jill Keyte.
The 2010 Sydney program will open on 13 January kicking off with a preview of the highly acclaimed, very humorous comedy, In the Loop, starring James Gandolfini and David Rasche. In the Loop opens in cinemas on 21 January.
“Our experience over the past six years has shown the North Shore loves outdoor cinema. We are thrilled with this season’s line up of films and early booking indications from our patrons show they are just as excited,” said Jill Keyte. “We’re also pleased to have ME Bank on board as the Naming Rights sponsor.”
Bevan Morris, National Marketing Manager at ME Bank said, “ME Bank is excited to be sponsoring Starlight Cinema. It’s a great outdoor event with a fabulous line up of Australian and international films. We’re delighted to be supporting this community-focussed event.”
There is a movie for everyone – young, old, couples, singles, friends and families. The varied selection of movies also includes Avatar, An Education, the US box office hit, Paranormal Activity, It’s Complicated, Did You Hear About the Morgans?, Nine, UP, Fantastic Mr Fox, The Lovely Bones, Up in the Air and Mao’s Last Dancer.
The season will close with the highly acclaimed, record-breaking, Oscar touted film, Precious, with great performances by Mariah Carey and Lenny Kravitz.
Cinema goers can be treated like a star in Star Class: the VIP area with a personal deck chair for the movie and a cheese or antipasto box with waiter service on the Dining Terrace beforehand.
“We’re also excited to be introducing the new Chillout Zone where patrons can snuggle up or chilllout on a comfy bean bed whilst enjoying a complimentary beverage of their choice,” said Jill.
Alternatively patrons can bring their own blanket, hire a backrest, or sit in one of the covered stands as they enjoy the balmy summer evening.
Film-goers can pack a picnic or enjoy a scrumptious barbeque menu accompanied by Hungerford Hill Wines, Coopers Beers and Grinders Coffee on the alfresco Grinders Coffee Café Terrace.
ME Bank Starlight Cinema gates and the Grinders Cafe Terrace open at 7pm each night. Tickets are available online from 8 December. Tickets for multiple films and nights can be purchased with the new Moshtix shopping cart. During the season tickets can be purchased at the gate each night. Gift vouchers can also be purchased for use any night – a great idea for Christmas, birthdays, thank you gifts, anniversaries or Valentine’s Day.
ME Bank Starlight Cinema runs from Wednesday 13 January to Saturday 20 March at North Sydney Oval featuring 45 films. The program also includes a Brazilian Festa, Bollywood festival, FlickerFEST event and a screening of the environmental movie, The Age of Stupid, for Footprints, a free event presented by the North Sydney, Mosman and Willoughby Councils .
Starlight Cinema thanks ME Bank, Hungerford Hill Wines, Grinders Coffee, Coopers Beer, Adshel, GSP Print, Sanyo, Lenovo, Mosman Daily, and Northside for their generous support and assistance in making the 2010 season possible. LAN Airlines will again sponsor the Brazilian Festa.
