Bring your picnic blankets and hampers, because outdoor cinema is coming to heart of Lismore in The Quad this weekend.

From this Friday, May 21 to Sunday, may 23, you can see cult classics under the stars, while listening through headsets for an immersive experience.

There's music and performance-oriented features on Friday night, family friendly classics on Saturday and a deeper dive into the world of arthouse and high end on Sunday.

The diverse program has been put together by film critic and programmer, Peter Castaldi.

“This program is designed to delight, entertain and shake the audience around a little,” Peter said. "Each night is specifically tailored to suit different age groups and tastes, but also to appeal to all who might just want to drop in on any of them.

“I’m especially thrilled that this Quad series is the perfect combination of picnic, gathering and great films under the stars - with the bonus of perfect sound heard through WiFi headsets!”
