Cygnet Cinema, Art Deco movie theater in South Perth, Australia
The Cygnet Cinema building features geometric shapes with a central tower that served both indoor auditorium and outdoor picture garden screenings.
The cinema opened in March 1938 as the Como Theatre, built by entrepreneur James Stiles and designed by architect William Leighton.
The cinema presents independent films, classic movies, and special screenings while hosting film festivals and community discussions throughout the year.
Located at 16 Preston Street in Como, the cinema offers parking facilities and shows films using various formats including 16mm, 35mm, and 70mm.
A large portrait of Alfred Hitchcock painted by street artist Nils Westergard decorates the exterior wall of the cinema since 2013.
