Spring has sprung at Palace Cinemas, bringing international film festivals, highly acclaimed drama and not forgetting something for the kids!

September is definitely festival month, as the Israeli Film Festival hands the baton to the Russian Film Festival, Italian Film Festival and The Environmental Film Festival. For something closer to home there is MENTAL, an Australian drama starring Toni Collette, Anthony La Paglia, Rebecca Gibney, and SAPPHIRES star Deborah Mailman.

We also have several family friendly films, to keep the kids occupied, in time for school holidays including
MADAGASCAR 3, which sees Alex and the gang still trying to get home, by joining a travelling circus.

With a program as diverse as this you would be hard pressed not to find the perfect film for your next event!
