the deal

Melbourne’s beloved Barefoot Cinema is an outdoor Cinema with a difference. Movie-gowers recline in the breath-taking surrounds of Point Nepean in Portsea, The Briars in Mount Martha and the heritage-listed and majestic gardens of Ripponlea Estate as a sensational program of films lights up under the stars.

Barefoot Cinema hosts over 44 evening screenings with the program consisting of family-friendly favourites, cult hits, musicals, comedies, and some of the best films of the year.

Barefoot Cinema required the execution of an all-round PR campaign the season to make sure we attracted both local and metropolitan visitation
