Step under the stars on Sunday, February 11, as the AACTA Festival invites you to a magical outdoor screening of “The Greatest Showman" at HOTA. This isn't just a movie night; it's a celebration of cinematic brilliance and gourmet delights under the open sky.


Imagine yourself lounging on your picnic blanket, the stars twinkling above as one of the greatest movie musicals unfolds on screen. Hugh Jackman's charismatic portrayal brings to life a world where dreams soar as high as the acrobats in Barnum's iconic circus.


Director Michael Gracey, the Australian visionary behind this masterpiece, will be there to introduce the film, and share insights into the making of the film. It's a rare chance to peek behind the curtain of this spectacular cinematic journey.


As the music swells and the story captivates, indulge in a selection of fine wines and carefully chosen gourmet treats, all available for purchase. It's an evening designed to delight your senses – sight, sound, taste, and more.


So gather your loved ones, bring your sense of wonder, and join us for an unforgettable night. Remember, this is more than a screening; it's a night of magic under the stars, a memory to cherish. This, indeed, is the greatest show!
