A journey through Footscray’s cinematic past and its creative present. Hosted by Five Walls Gallery and Arcade Projects, CineRedux: Footscray Reimagined blends history, film, and contemporary art to revisit the suburb’s once-vibrant cinema culture through archival materials, local stories, and new artistic responses.

Held across two weekends — 5 June and 26 July 2026 — and centred around the historic Trocadero Arcade, CineRedux will present an immersive evening of art, projections, and live performances spanning the arcade, Five Walls Gallery and the building’s exterior. Highlights include the launch of a new exhibition titled Tapestry by local artist Sean Hogan, with performances by Footscray musicians Artificial Limb (Marc Eiden) and Ivofonic (Ivano Abram).

The celebrations begin on June 5, with the project extending into Open House Melbourne on July 26, featuring guided tours and guest talks that bring Footscray’s forgotten theatres back to life, as artists reimagine how moving images continue to shape the suburb’s cultural identity today.

Further details about the tours and talks are to come following the launch of the Open House Melbourne program on 24 June.
