Sun Pictures
An open-air cinema opened in 1916, believed to be the oldest open-air cinema still operating in the world. Aircraft occasionally fly low over the screen.
Located in Chinatown, the cinema lets you watch the latest films from canvas deckchairs under the stars, with the airport flight path overhead. Planes landing pass low above the screen, which makes for a unique experience. The cinema was once flooded by seawater at high tide, so audiences had to lift their feet during screenings. During the day you can visit a small historical exhibit and see old projectors. Evening sessions should be booked in advance, and bring insect repellent.
