Don’t miss this rare opportunity to witness these cinematic masterpieces in their full glory and immerse yourself in the visionary world of Kurosawa, where every frame is a work of art.

“The greatest living example of all that an author of the cinema should be” – Federico Fellini

‘The term “giant” is used too often to describe artists. But in the case of Akira Kurosawa, we have one of the rare instances where the term fits.’ – Martin Scorsese

“The pictorial Shakespeare of our time.” – Steven Spielberg

Paired with our well-tuned cinema sound systems, these film epics return with new life.

Dendy Coorparoo will be screening a mix of classics such as Action and Adventure films THE DARK KNIGHT, APOLLO 13, Mel Gibson’s BRAVEHEART, THE MATRIX, TERMINATOR 2: JUDGEMENT DAY, RAN (Japanese with English Subtitles) and CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON (Mandarin with English Subtitles) to Drama films including Francis Ford Coppola’s 1979 epic APOCALYPSE NOW: FINAL CUT and his Oscar winning mafia masterpiece, THE GODFATHER along with the crime classic HEAT, the horror must-see THE SHINING and finishing off with the quintessential Western to out-shoot all westerns – THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY.

Return to Middle Earth with Dendy’s encore screening of THE LORD OF THE RINGS EXTENDED EDITION MARATHON. Experience the epic extended editions of Peter Jackson’s Oscar-winning trilogy back-to-back on the big screen again. Join Frodo Baggins and the Fellowship on their perilous journey to destroy the one ring to rule them all and save Middle Earth from the clutches of evil.

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring – Extended Edition
In the first part of J.R.R. Tolkien’s epic masterpiece, The Lord of the Rings, a shy young hobbit named Frodo Baggins inherits a simple gold ring. He knows the ring has power, but not that he alone holds the secret to the survival or enslavement of the entire world. Now Frodo, accompanied by a wizard, an elf, a dwarf, two men and three loyal hobbit friends, must become the greatest hero the world has ever known to save the land and the people he loves.

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers – Extended Edition
In the second part of the Tolkien trilogy, Frodo Baggins and the other members of the Fellowship continue on their sacred quest to destroy the One Ring–but on separate paths. Their destinies lie at two towers–Orthanc Tower in Isengard, where the corrupt wizard Saruman awaits, and Sauron’s fortress at Barad-dur, deep within the dark lands of Mordor.

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King – Extended Edition
In the conclusion of J.R.R. Tolkien’s epic masterpiece, The Lord of the Rings, as armies mass for a final battle that will decide the fate of the world–and powerful, ancient forces of Light and Dark compete to determine the outcome–one member of the Fellowship of the Ring is revealed as the noble heir to the throne of the Kings of Men. Yet, the sole hope for triumph over evil lies with a brave hobbit, Frodo, who, accompanied only by his loyal friend Sam and the hideous, wretched Gollum, ventures deep into the very dark heart of Mordor on his seemingly impossible quest to destroy the Ring of Power.

GRAVEL ROAD is the story of Jay Minning, singer-songwriter of Desert Stars. This musical four piece are traditional landowners of Spinifex Country in the Great Victoria Desert, Western Australia – home of the last nomads. From their home in remotest Tjuntjuntjara, we follow Jay and the band’s first tour as they rock their way across the Western desert with songs of hunter-gatherer life, surviving British atomic testing, and a profound connection to culture that spans back 2,000 generations.

With customary Spinifex reciprocity, Jay shares the journey with east-coast friends – the Re-mains, and provides a rare glimpse into his country, his culture, his music, and his extraordinary everyday life.

Celebrate Cinco de Mayo at Dendy Coorparoo on Sunday, May 5 with a Watermelon Margarita in hand from the Happy Hour Cocktail Co. and a preview screening of the uplifting true story of one teacher’s unorthodox approach to educating youngsters that produced unexpected results.

Winner of the Sundance Film Favourite Award in 2023, RADICAL – a charming, bittersweet Mexican drama starring beloved Mexican actor Eugenio Derbez – is a powerful and heartwarming drama and an inspiring portrait of the importance of dedicated teachers.

Who will the sixth-grade students at Jose Urbina Lopez Elementary in Matamoros become? They are among the worst performing students in Mexico, the world they know is one of violence and hardship, and their classrooms are dominated by an atmosphere of overbearing discipline, not possibility. It might seem like a dead end… but it is also the perfect place for new teacher Sergio Juarez (Derbez) to try something different.

There’s just one problem: Sergi has no idea what he’s doing.

“An authentically moving and involving crowd-pleaser.” – Los Angeles Times

“Undeniably effective.” – The Hollywood Reporter

“Inspirational and relevant” – CineMovie
