"This place is one of the gems of Bendigo's cultural crown. Located in Eaglehawk, which is becoming the Fitzroy of Bendigo, the cinema screens new movies, revivals and film festival flicks in a beautiful old town hall building. The twin-person couch seating arrangement is great. The picture and sound quality great. The concession stand loaded with heaps of excellent locally made treats. Honestly, this is the place you've been looking for when it comes to indie cinemas."
