Sunset Cinema Club

Sunset Cinema Club’s not your average movie theatre with the faded red velvet seats. It’s more a travelling circus, an outdoor jaunt, a chance to watch films in an ordinary urban locale, transformed into a pop-up cinema for your eyes only. Well, you, and a couple dozen more avid movie watchers who won’t talk nonstop during the good parts. 

Active since 2016, the club operates on the concept of transforming the mundane into the magical. It combines the city’s best open spaces – a quiet rooftop, for instance, or a breezy mall terrace, or an upscale poolside – and transforms them into a temporary, immersive cinematic event, all unfolding to the sun dipping below the horizon. 

Their offerings are diverse – you might find yourself at a Sky Cinema event admiring the spectacular skyline, or a Dive-in Cinema, if they’re partnering with a hotel pool. The setting, inevitably, ends up becoming an integral part of the screening experience, and makes for a relaxed, festive ambience. The viewing area’s typically adorned with twinkling string lights, bean bags and comfy mattresses dot the ground, and the screening list carefully sidesteps the latest blockbusters, settling instead for beloved cult classics and comfort films.
