Kristian Fletcher has a penchant for retro movies and cinematic events. The independent exhibitor has blessed Brisbane for the past 16 years with pop up period-cinema events and will continue to light the beacon for film romantics with his 2016 Halloween event.
The event is to take place in various locations around Brisbane from Thursday the 17th of October to Sunday the 30th of October. “People like to be scared,” Fletcher said, “and what better way than with an audience of like-minded people … Experience these movies with an audience – the way they were intended”.
Prospective attendees can take their pick from the choice below, or make it simple by just attending them all! Visit www.kristianfletcher.com for more information.
