Giving us further proof that cinema is in fact not dead, it was just sleeping, a new indie cinema is set to open in Collingwood.
Eclipse Cinema will start showing from Thursday, 28 August reviving a film history that flickered in the area in the 1920s, haring back to a silent film cinema on Smith Street.
Owner Mark Walker—ex-projectionist and co-founder of Geelong’s Pivotonian—transformed the former Sherrin football factory into a cosy, modern cinema with Dolby digital sound and the latest projection.
Expect multiple sessions every day from 11am, and late shows on weekends. Opening slate? A genuinely fun mix: Eddington, Friendship, Burden of Dreams, plus 2024–25 festival favourites Universal Language and Grand Tour. Wednesdays roll into a line-up from Pedro Almodóvar (All About My Mother and Matador), then Good Time, No Other Land and Sorry Baby queued up in the future.
The candy bar skews grown-up: a licensed list of craft beers and wines, bubbles by the bottle, popcorn and sweets, house-made choc tops—and Pat & Stick’s ice-creams alongside.
Eclipse Cinema is set to open on 28 August at 32 Wellington Street, Collingwood with screenings from 11am daily and late sessions on weekends. Book your tickets here.
