This November and December, local movie exhibitor Kristian Fletcher rounds up 2019 with a program of cult & classic movie screenings at Metro Arts, 109 Edward St Brisbane City.
The Lumen Room – located on the ground level of Metro Arts – has remained an iconic independent cinema, having screened movies regularly since 1980.
Kristian Fletcher has presented movie events in Brisbane for over nineteen years and hosted screenings at Metro Arts since 2004.
“See these cult classic movies with an audience, the way they were meant to be experienced,” Fletcher said.
“This could be the final chance to see a movie at Metro Arts”.
