Taking the movies to the great outdoors

Twilight cinema doubles as community fundraiser

family movies on the big screen in a township near you this Autumn as part of an upcoming cinema roadshow.

The Twilight Cinema is touring the Glenelg Shire this month, with community events planned for Tyrendarra and Heywood, with the Merino event last weekend.

‘Think Like a Dog’ was shown at the weekend at the Merino Showgrounds and the cinema will now venture to Tyrendarra this Friday to play ‘Mrs Doubtfire’ before eventually making its way to Heywood on Friday, March 31, to play ‘DC League of Superpets’.

Glnelg Mayor Cr Scott Martin said council was thrilled to welcome the popular Twilight Cinema back this Autumn, and what better way with a roadshow right across the Glenelg Shire.

“The events will all act as community fundraisers for the respective organising groups – the Merino Progress Association, the Tyrendarra Sporting Association and Promoting Heywood and District Committee,” Cr Martin said.

“Many of the cinemas will also feature food, drinks, live music and amusements to keep all members of the family entertained.

“I encourage you to head along to an outdoor cinema event close to your home, and enjoy a night out under the stars watching a family friendly movie all whilst helping to support our local community groups.”
