WHEN HARRY MET SALLY (M)

Runtime: 92 mins

Cairns Botanic Gardens 78-96 Collins Ave, Edge Hill, QLD, Australia
Book Tickets

In 1977, college graduates Harry Burns (Billy Crystal) and Sally Albright (Meg Ryan) share a contentious car ride from Chicago to New York, during which they argue about whether men and women can ever truly be strictly platonic friends. 

Ten years later, Harry and Sally meet again at a bookstore, and in the company of their respective best friends, Jess (Bruno Kirby) and Marie (Carrie Fisher), attempt to stay friends without sex becoming an issue between them.

Rob Reiner's touching, funny film set a new standard for romantic comedies, and he was ably abetted by the sharp interplay between Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan.

BYO Chairs, pillows, blankets and picnic on the grass. Please no glass.
We recommend arriving early to the Botanic Gardens to set-up.

The gates will open at 5:30 PM.

KNEECAP (MA)

Runtime: 102 min

Event Cinemas Cairns Central 1/21 McLeod St, Cairns, QLD, Australia
Book Tickets

When a Belfast schoolteacher crashes into the orbit of two unpredictable and raucous best-friends, the needle drops on a hip-hop act like no other.

Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, Naoise Ó Cairealláin, and JJ Ó Dochartaigh leap onto the screen to play themselves in this heightened comedy-drama about the anarchic group, Kneecap, who become unlikely figureheads of a civil rights movement to save their mother tongue.

Armed with a blend of native Irish and English verses and furious, politically charged rhymes, the trio must overcome police, paramilitaries and politicians trying to silence their defiant ketamine-fuelled sound. In this fiercely original sex, drugs and hip-hop biopic, also starring Michael Fassbender, KNEECAP is a rollicking trip into the meaning of pure defiance.

In Irish/Gaelic with English subtitles and in English.

This is great, emotive, and deeply funny stuff. - Grant Watson

Thoughtful, entertaining, humorous...- Stephen Romei
The Australian

A very cluey, well-crafted father/daughter story nicely wrapped in a wily survival tale about how the tranquility of nature and the intimacy of isolation can be overwhelmed by unpredictable, and well-disguised peril.
Jim Schembri

Delightfully quirky and superbly acted with a charming fantastical approach, Bookworm is a fun adventure film with a lovely message behind it,
