After 45 years tucked away on the upper level of 375 Greenhill Road, the Trak CineCentre will screen its final film on Saturday January 2 at 7:30pm.
The final film has been very carefully selected, and will be THE SMALLEST SHOW ON EARTH, a film that is near and dear to the hearts of lovers of the institution and experience that is the cinema.
The 1957 classic stars Bill Travers, Virginia McKenna, Peter Sellers and Margaret Rutherford, and tells the story of a young couple, Matt and Jean, who inherit a cinema. Upon arriving to inspect their new acquisition, they are shocked to discover the decrepit Bijou Kinema, jammed between two railway bridges, and known locally as “the fleapit”.
THE SMALLEST SHOW ON EARTH will give you an insight into what makes some of us fall madly in love with these places, all the weird and wonderful goings-on within them, and the lifelong obsession with wanting nothing more than to fill our seats with people, and present to them the wonderful world that is film and cinema.
We do ask that if you intend to come along to this final screening, please make your booking with the Trak CineCentre Box Office either in person or on 08 8332 8020.
All tickets to this last show are $20. Proceeds from this, and all of the screenings this month will assist the Trak to find a new home.
The film will screen in Cinema One, the Trak’s original auditorium from it’s early days as a single screen cinema. It was the first to open on December 26 1975, and it will be the last to close.
