Not only are we opening the season with MARTY SUPREME, but this screening marks the Australian premiere of the already-acclaimed film.
You’ve probably seen the promo (and Timmy’s… creative marketing ideas, see slide 5), but after catching a sneak peak of this ourselves, we can safely say: this one is something special. Electric, unpredictable, and maybe the performance that finally gets him that Oscar.
Tickets go on sale in two weeks, but sign up to our mailing list to be the first to know when they drop. We can’t wait to share this one with you.

We’re excited to announce that is back at The Point for our biggest season yet.
Think bao buns, prawn toast, satay, salt and pepper squid and more of his Vietnamese and Southeast Asian favourites, all summer long.
When it comes time, choose a general admission ticket and stroll down to The Point. Come early as it’s first in best dressed to catch the sunset, and enjoy something delicious before the film. 🌅🍜
