Welcome to Cinema Nova
Melbourne's largest and most vibrant arthouse cinema complex
We offer 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.
Cinema Nova had its beginnings as a twin arthouse cinema when it opened in August 1992, and has been expanding in size and diversity since. |
 Two years after opening, the Nova doubled in size to a four screen complex; we added a fifth screen a year later, and December 1999 saw Cinemas 6, 7 and 8 open to the public. In 2004 three more screens opened, bringing our total to 11 screens.
We're located at 380 Lygon Street, Carlton in the Lygon Court Shopping Piazza between Elgin and Faraday Streets. Our entrance is up the escalator at the Lygon Street end of the piazza. |
Our box office phone numbers are
