About the event

SMOKESCREEN | Akira

Taking place at in the Drama Room at the WPCC, Smokescreen brings Dubbo residents the opportunity to witness iconic and influential films from the history of cinema.

The theme for 2025 is 'The Unexpected'.

Each film takes a familiar characterisation, scene or trope from the science fiction universe and diverts expectations. From ground breaking new ideas in portraying space and time, to film settings and cinematography that redefined how audiences experienced a genre that is often only thought of as ‘those Star films’.

Tickets $10.

Tickets include a 'Buy one, get one free' drink offer following the film at The Establishment Bar.
