Silver Screen is a curated program of iconic and important Australian films screening every month in the comfortable theatre at 6 Washington Street in South Hobart.

With support from the City of Hobart, Wide Angle Tasmania presents these films for free to those aged 50 and over.  

It’s a great opportunity for audiences to access Australian film, meet other film lovers and hear from the actors, directors and producers at a post film Q&A.
