The Nova Bar
Cinema Nova's iconic Nova Bar is located at the top of the escalators in Lygon Court, right next to the Candy Bar. Sip on a cocktail, savour a coffee and nibble on some light snacks before, after or between movie sessions. There's no better place for cinema-goers to relax and unwind.
The latest Nova Bar takeover transports moviegoers to the animated, inter-gay-lactic world of 'Lesbian Space Princess'.
A laugh-out-loud adventure through the far reaches of queer outer space, the new candy-coloured takeover pays homage to the incredible talents of debut South Australian writers/directors Leela Varghese and Emma Hough Hobbs.
Previous takeovers have included Wes Anderson's 'The Phoenician Scheme'; Adam Elliot's stop motion 'Memoir of a Snail'; Yorgos Lanthimos' 'Poor Things'; Wes Anderson's 'Asteroid City' and 'The French Dispatch'; Oscar-winner 'Everything Everywhere All At Once'; 'Blade Runner 2049'; and The Hollywood Time Lounge inspired by Tarantino's 'Once Upon A Time in Hollywood'.
