BACK TO THE 80s: SUMMER LOVERS

Take a giddy trip to the Greek Isles in the early ‘80s when sun and surf were the only things on your mind with this special screening of the cult classic Summer Lovers (1982).

The screening will be followed by an 80s-themed party featuring Greek-Australian DJ James Belias, who has played at some of Australia’s and Greece’s most famous venues and festivals, including annual summer sets to packed outdoor clubs in Mykonos. The set will take full advantage of the film’s pop soundtrack that includes tunes from Depeche Mode, Prince, Tina Turner, Chicago, Pointer Sisters and more.
