“Quite extraordinary, an epic mashup of disco flash, golden age Hollywood glamour and some strange VR-style inner-space scenes. Xanadu is entirely bonkers, but fun.” -The Guardian

Olivia Newton-John stars in this fantastical musical odyssey as a Greek muse who visits Earth as a human and, with the help of a rollerskating Gene Kelly, inspires young artist to open a glitzy disco roller rink. Decades after its release, Xanadu attained cult status and inspired a Broadway hit musical of the same name.

About Deckchair Cinema
You are invited to enjoy classic films under the stars on Cates Deck in front of the Gallery. Now in its second year, Deckchair Cinema treats audiences to a summer of al fresco film screenings. Hosted for 10 Thursdays beginning June 29, the screenings commence at sunset, and will be complemented by music and entertainment leading up to curtain time. Attendees are encouraged to arrive early and make themselves comfortable by bringing their own blankets or low chairs. An outdoor Meet the Makers market, curated by lifestyle brand OCIN, will feature drinks from local wineries and breweries, which can be enjoyed on Cates Deck, a public zone for alcohol consumption. Admission to Deckchair Cinema is by donation, courtesy of BMO Financial Group ($10 per guest is recommended), and includes access to the Gallery’s summer exhibition Jeremy Shaw: Phase Shifting Index.
