Cinema Nova, Carlton, VIC

Melbourne's home of arthouse and contemporary cinema Cinema Nova offers the very best in new release arthouse films together with upmarket commercial releases, regular special film events and festivals, all in a warm, intimate environment of architecturally challenging design. Nova had its beginnings as a twin arthouse cinema when it opened in August 1992 and has been expanding in size and diversity ever since. Two years after opening, the Nova doubled in size to a four screen complex; adding a fifth screen a year later. December 1999 saw Cinemas 6, 7 and 8 open to a public with an insatiable appetite for fine film. In 2004 three more screens opened including Melbourne’s first purely digital cinema screen. In 2010, just in time for Cinema Nova’s 18th birthday, a further 4 screens were added bringing the total to 15 auditoria. After extensive renovations in 2011, Cinema Nova introduced the Nova Bar. Serving delicious cocktails and an extensive list of local and international beers, wine and spirits, the Nova Bar is the perfect spot to meet for pre or post film conversation. Tasty treats are served throughout the day, with the full menu in operation every evening. In 2012, Nova introduced Nova Deluxe, an in-cinema dining experience like no other. Filmgoers can choose between a single course or three course meal served in the luxury and comfort of our Deluxe boutique cinemas.
