In conjunction with the Brisbane Powerhouse, Dendy Powerhouse Outdoor Cinema is excited to present MELT ON SCREEN as part of the MELT FESTIVAL 2025 – The ultimate celebration of LGBTQIA+ arts, culture, identity and pride staged across Brisbane from October 22 to November 9.
Promising to be another unforgettable festival in Brisbane’s cultural calendar, make sure you QUEER your calendar, assemble your crew and start planning your fiercest festival looks for our two very special MELT ON SCREEN events.
LESBIAN SPACE PRINCESS
An introverted space princess is forced to leave her home planet on an inter-gay- lactic mission to save her ex-girlfriend from the Straight White Maliens.
A laugh-out-loud adventure through the far reaches of queer outer space, Lesbian Space Princess is a riotous, candy-coloured joy from start to finish: a locally made animation by emerging creatives that embraces LGBTQIA+ and culturally diverse voices, on and off-screen.
SCREENING SATURDAY, 25 OCTOBER at 6:20pm with gates open 1 hour before film commences.
THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW – 50th ANNIVERSARY
It’s just a jump to the left and a step right into our 50th Anniversary screening of THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW.
Hosted by drag royalty, Maxi-Bon to guide you through a night in Transylvania, each guest will receive a partic… ipation kit, complete with props and guides so you can join in with all the fan made antics of this cult classic.
So dust off those fishnets and practice your time warp for a night with Frank-N- Furter, Riff Raff, Magenta, Columbia, Eddie and of course Rocky.
SCREENING SATURDAY, 8 NOVEMBER at 6:30pm with gates open 1 hour before film commences.
Dendy Powerhouse is an unforgettable outdoor cinema experience located next to Brisbane Powerhouse in the iconic New Farm Park. Featuring a massive outdoor screen atop custom-made 40ft shipping containers, 350 outdoor lounge chairs with wide armrests, and wireless Dendy headphones with superior sound quality.

Prepare to be fully immersed in cinema under the stars.
