Golden Age Cinema and
Bar is well and truly in the swing of spring with a new program set to
thrill audiences and bar-goers alike. Whether it’s for fear or beer, get
ready for some spooky Halloween frights and Craft
Beer Week delights.
Nobody does Halloween like Hollywood, so get some great costume inspiration from films with memorable Halloween scenes:
E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, To Kill a Mockingbird, Scream and Mean Girls.
Then dress to the nines as a ghost for Golden Age’s Beetlejuice
themed Halloween party.
Sydney Craft Beer Week
2014 has inspired Golden Age to share a drink with some of the booziest
dudes in cinema. Grab a cold glass of beer from the bar and head in to
the cinema for
Wake in Fright, From Dusk till Dawn, The Big Lebowski, and Drinking Buddies.
Sydney Craft Beer Week will also feature a special screening of the Coen brothers’
True Grit guest presented by Platinum Liquor and Hopdog
Beerworks. The one-off ‘La Boufes Bete Noire’ American stock ale has
been crafted especially for the event and a bluegrass band playing in
the bar before the film will get you up and stomping like
your name is Rooster Cogburn.
An eclectic mix of new releases on this program include Richard Linklater’s 12 years in the making coming-of-age epic
Boyhood, Kiwi horror comedy What We Do in the Shadows, Swedish punk rock smash
We Are the Best!, Bill Hader and Kristen Wiig drama The Skeleton Twins, Sydney exclusive
They Came Together, David Fincher’s marriage meltdown mystery Gone Girl, new documentaries
Advanced Style, Is the Man Who is Tall Happy? and Jodorowsky's Dune, as well as independent surprise hit comedy,
Obvious Child.
"Obvious Child and We Are the Best! are both in the running for my favorite film of 2014, and I'm thrilled
to be able to program matching films about wayward teenagers and
comedies around them,”
says Katie Jinx, Director of Programming at Golden Age.
“Golden Age offers a
unique cinema and bar experience for Sydney, and we hope somewhat unique
in the world,” says Bob Barton, Managing Director of Golden Age. “We’re
determined to maintain the elegance of our
single-screen cinema, but to bring all eras of film into a progressive
program that reconnects our audiences with the timeless magic of great
cinema.”
Equally famous for its
fine bar offering as its cinema, Golden Age serves up film-inspired
cocktails and natural wines to both non-ticket holders and cinema-goers
alike. Leave work on time for cheap cold tap beer
and select wines during ‘Golden Hour’ (5pm to 7pm weekdays), take a Hollywood Highball cocktail into the cinema, or come late for a Maple Pecan Old Fashioned.
Golden Age’s spring food
menu includes a long-awaited Messina Choc Top, cinnamon donut popcorn
and a ‘John Candy Box’ of lollies. Bar snacks are refined yet fun with
eats like ‘Tiger Sharks’ –
Life Aquatic inspired white anchovies with smoked tomatoes – and a
line-up of legendary ‘Golden Toasties’: The Spielberger, The Fellini
and The Big Cheese. Sharing and pairing is encouraged via the
‘Director’s Cuts’ charcuterie and cheese plates, which
make a perfect match for a bottle of wine between friends.
