SCREENING STARS ON THE SCREEN AND IN THE SKY

The Shire of Exmouth is delighted to announce free community outdoor movie nights at Federation Park under the majestic backdrop of Ningaloo’s' night sky.

Living in a regional community presents many unique challenges, particularly regarding limited access to cultural experiences, such as the classic enjoyment of watching a movie on a big screen with a bucket of popcorn—something easily taken for granted in metropolitan areas.

The Shire of Exmouth is committed to providing improved community-focused opportunities and is thrilled to be able to bring this experience to our residents.

As part of ongoing efforts to provide our community with a range of events that support healthy lifestyle choices, improve mental health and foster a sense of connection in a safe and inclusive atmosphere, The Shire of Exmouth is excited to announce the new cinema space where the community can come together and enjoy cinema classics in a special outdoor setting.

Thanks to generous funding support from Santos, the outdoor cinema will be showcasing regular crowd-pleaser films and has the capacity to host up to 200 people. These movie nights will be a fantastic opportunity for families, friends, and film lovers of all ages to enjoy a free and memorable entertainment experience.

A selection of featured films will cater to a range of age groups and are sure to inspire, laugh and pull on heart strings.  This is an exciting chance for our community to reconnect, enjoy long-awaited new releases, and revisit timeless classics in true Exmouth style under the stars.

The first movie will be screened on 30 April 2025 with a dedicated sponsor’s launch on 27 June during the Ningaloo Sky Festival.

 

COMMENTS ATTRIBUTED TO THE SHIRE – SHIRE PRESIDENT MATT NIIKKULA

"We are incredibly proud to bring these free outdoor movie nights to Federation Park, where our community will have the opportunity to share in the magic of cinema. Something that is often easily accessible in larger cities but a truly special experience in our regional setting."

"Thanks to the generous support of Santos, we're able to create a space for families and friends to connect, laugh, and enjoy memorable evenings together. This initiative reflects our commitment to fostering a strong, vibrant, and inclusive community, and we look forward to seeing everyone enjoying a flick under the stars!"
