Reel Rock 20 Film Tour at The Astor Theatre

Reel Rock 20 Film Tour at The Astor Theatre

Tue, Nov 24, 7:30 AM
From Melbourne Social
4.9

Join me for a night of climbing films at one of Melbourne's most beautiful old cinemas. Reel Rock is the climbing world's big annual film night, and this one is the 20th edition — big walls, hard projects, and a very enthusiastic crowd that tends to cheer at the screen. The 2026 program lists four films: Colin Haley on a winter solo push on Cerro Torre, Michaela Kiersch chasing the 5.15 and V15 double, adaptive climbers Ben Mayforth and Mo Beck, and Olympic champion Janja Garnbret on Bibliographie. Eventbrite lists the runtime as about 2 hours 30 minutes. We'll meet outside the doors of The Astor Theatre at 6:30pm, say hello, then head in together around 6:40pm to find seats before the films start at 7:00pm. Look out for me near the entrance on Chapel Street. This is a casual social meetup so we can go along together — it isn't run by, affiliated with, or endorsed by Reel Rock Film Tour, Adventure Entertainment, or The Astor Theatre. Please book your own ticket directly through the links below; an RSVP here isn't a ticket and doesn't include entry. **Who this is for** * Climbers of any level — boulderers, gym regulars, trad nerds, rope-gun wannabes * Anyone who just likes a good adventure documentary; no climbing experience needed * People who'd rather watch it with a group than on their own * Coming solo is completely fine — plenty of people do, and it's an easy one to turn up to by yourself **Links** * Meetup start point: https://maps.app.goo.gl/No6BF4VM1phPS94B8 * Tickets (Eventbrite): https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/reel-rock-20-film-tour-melbourne-tickets-1993928137735 * Reel Rock 20: https://www.reelrockfilmtour.com/home/au/ * 2026 program: https://www.reelrockfilmtour.com/program/2026-program/ **Timeline** * 6:30pm – Meet at the doors of The Astor Theatre and say hello * 6:40pm – Head inside and get seated * 7:00pm – Films start * 9:30pm – Films end and the meetup finishes **Tickets / cost** * You book and pay for your own ticket through the Eventbrite link above. * Ticket types and prices are set by the organiser and change over time — check Eventbrite for what's currently available. Early bird tickets are cheaper while they last. * Please book ahead. Reel Rock nights are popular and can sell out, and an RSVP here doesn't hold a seat for you. * Eventbrite lists this as a no-refunds event, so double-check the date before you buy. **Transport** * The Astor Theatre is at 1 Chapel Street, St Kilda, on the corner of Chapel Street and Dandenong Road. * Trams run along both Chapel Street and Dandenong Road, and Windsor station is a short walk away. * If you're driving, it's street parking in the surrounding streets — check the signs, and allow extra time to find a spot. **Bring** * Your ticket (on your phone is fine) * A jacket — evenings can be cool and the theatre can be too * Cash or card if you want snacks or a drink from the candy bar **Expect** * Difficulty: none, it's a cinema * Pace: relaxed — arrive, sit, watch * Vibe: friendly and a bit rowdy, in a good way * Group style: come and go as you please; we meet at the doors and sit together if seating allows **Important notes** * Please arrive by 6:30pm if you'd like to sit with the group. We'll head in at 6:40pm and can't wait around once the films start. * Seating depends on your ticket and how full the session is, so sitting together isn't guaranteed. * Times, films, and the program are set by the organiser and could change — the Reel Rock and Eventbrite pages are the source of truth. * Follow The Astor's house rules and staff instructions, and please be considerate of others during the screening. * If your plans change, please update your RSVP so the numbers stay clear for everyone.
