Each week, Silverscreen turns daytime moviegoing into something much richer. Settle into the comfort of The Mercury’s boutique cinema and enjoy a film that will spark conversation long after the credits roll. Even better, every Tuesday and Friday matinee comes with complimentary refreshments, because great cinema should be savoured with a cuppa in hand.
This November, the program is brimming with variety: the insightful documentary But Also John Clarke, Olivia Colman in the romantic comedy The Roses, the entertaining Irish doco Beat the Lotto, plus a special Script Club screening of The Room Next Door.
Silverscreen sessions are free for Mercury subscribers, or you can simply buy a ticket at the door: $17 regular, $15 concession, or just $10 with a Seniors Card.
For true movie buffs, The Mercury also offers something unique: Adelaide Cinematheque. This members-only program celebrates the best of cinema past and present, from timeless classics to cult favourites. Membership is flexible, with options like a 12-month mini-membership for those who want to dip their toes in.
What’s coming up? November brings Noirvember, a shadowy tribute to the moody world of film noir, including the 1944 classic Double Indemnity. December follows with Movies About the Movies, a program that salutes the silver screen itself, featuring Gloria Swanson and William Holden in Sunset Boulevard.
So whether you’re in the mood for a thought-provoking documentary, a dash of romance, or a nostalgic classic, The Mercury has something special waiting for you.
