About Us

Brunswick Picture House is a brand new single screen cinema and bar - brought to you by the team behind Thornbury Picture House. We are passionate about film and as Brunswick locals, we can’t wait to bring an independent single screen cinema to Sydney Road Brunswick. We plan to bring an exciting and diverse programme of films, to provide a place for local community groups to engage in fundraising activities together with supporting local filmmakers to have their work shown in a state of the art venue. Our cinema will have a 6.5m screen, 80 seats and 7.1 sound system. We will of course be fully accessible for disabled patrons

In addition to operating Thornbury Picture House, we also make films (Gus produced & directed the documentary The Lost City of Melbourne), operate an outdoor cinema company (Blow Up Cinema) and Lou is a music supervisor (Rising Sounds), licensing music for Film and TV productions.

We can’t wait to open our doors in November (hopefully) and to become your local little picture house in the heart of Brunswick.

Signing off, Gus and Lou.

Please provide us with at least 24 hours notice if you are emailing us to request this change or if the session is on a weekend, please call the cinema at least four hours prior to the session commencing.

If you have a ticket and are forced to isolate or if you’re feeling unwell, we will do our best to accommodate a change or credit.

TPH is excited to offer certain film sessions with OPEN CAPTIONS to our audience who are Deaf, hard of hearing or simply those who prefer captions.. Open Captioning is when films have text and sound descriptions displayed on screen to allow all patrons to enjoy movies together. We plan to programme Open Caption sessions of all our popular films once every few weeks and the films will be identifiable by having (Open Captions) following its title on the website.(Please note however that not all films are provided with Open Captions.) Movies should of course be enjoyed by all and we look forward to welcoming those who are Deaf or hard of hearing to TPH. We will continue to strive to make our cinema fully accessible to everyone.
