Astor Theatre

The Astor Theatre is an art deco movie theater in Perth with a main auditorium, upper seating level, and gold-trimmed curtains that part before each screening. The space combines period architecture with contemporary projection technology to serve audiences looking for a traditional cinema setting.

The theater opened in 1936 and remains the last continuously operating single-screen cinema from that decade in Melbourne. Its survival through changing entertainment trends reflects how it adapted while keeping its original character intact.

The venue hosts classic films, independent releases, and special screening events that draw different audiences throughout the year. This programming approach creates a community gathering place where film enthusiasts discover diverse cinema beyond mainstream releases.

Visitors can purchase tickets online and subscribe to the event calendar to stay informed about upcoming films and special shows. The adjoining Overlook Cafe & Bar serves beverages and snacks before screenings, making it easy to plan a full outing.

The theater operates a Barco 4K digital projection system while also preserving the ability to screen rare 70mm film formats for special presentations. This blend of contemporary and classic equipment allows it to show a wide range of cinema formats.
