Hot Summer Nights at the NFSA pairs live music, local food and classic cinema for a relaxed summer evening.
Set in the NFSA heritage courtyard, the seasonal program brings together live music, local wines, summer cocktails and charcuterie from Dom's deli & bar before screenings in Arc Cinema.
An eclectic lineup of musicians is matched with classic films, from Endrey's Euro-pop energy and Rhythm Capital's swing, trad and modern jazz to the Romanian sounds of Super Rats, the acclaimed collaboration of Mindy Meng Wang and Tim Shiel, vibrant Cuban rhythms from Mi Tierra, and the genre-bending alt-pop of Japanese-Australian artist Miya Zawa.
Hot Summer Nights offers a unique opportunity to experience live music and cinema together in one of Canberra's most distinctive cultural settings.
