Join me for a big night of adventure films at The Capitol on Swanston Street. The Adventure Reels Tour is a curated collection of short action-sports films from around the world — skiing, climbing, kayaking, mountain biking, wing-suits — all packed into around two and a half hours on the big screen.

The Capitol is one of Melbourne's most beautiful cinemas, so it's a lovely spot to sit back and watch people do slightly unreasonable things on mountains.

We'll meet outside Starbucks at 117 Swanston Street at 6:30pm for a quick hello, then walk over to The Capitol together around 6:40pm so we're seated before the films start at 7:00pm. Afterwards we'll head out together and anyone who wants to keep chatting can.

This is a casual social meetup so we can go along together — it isn't run by or affiliated with Adventure Reels or The Capitol. Please book your own ticket directly through Humanitix; an RSVP here doesn't include entry.

Who this is for

  • Anyone who loves adventure films, the outdoors, or just a good night at the cinema
  • No experience or fitness required — this one's all sitting down
  • Coming solo is completely fine, plenty of people do

Timeline

  • 6:30pm – Meet outside Starbucks (117 Swanston Street) and say hello
  • 6:40pm – Walk over to The Capitol and find seats together
  • 7:00pm – Films start
  • 10:00pm – Films finish and the meetup wraps up

Tickets / cost

  • You book and pay for your own ticket directly with Humanitix.
  • Book ahead — these screenings can sell out.
  • Seating is not allocated, so arriving early gives us a good shot at sitting together.

Transport

  • The Capitol is at 113 Swanston Street, right in the city — easy on foot from Flinders Street or Melbourne Central.
  • Trams along Swanston Street stop practically at the door.
  • Parking in the CBD is limited and pricey on a Thursday night, so public transport is easier if you can.

Bring

  • Your ticket
  • A jacket

Expect

  • Pace: relaxed, mostly sitting in the dark watching films
  • Vibe: friendly and low-key, a chat before and after
  • Group style: come as you are, solo attendees very welcome

Important notes

  • Please book your own ticket in advance. A Meetup RSVP is not a ticket and doesn't guarantee entry.
  • This is an independently arranged social meetup, not an official Adventure Reels or Capitol event, and it isn't endorsed by them.
  • Once the films start we'll be quiet and in our seats, so the socialising happens before and after.
  • Please follow all venue rules and staff instructions on the night.
  • If your plans change, please update your RSVP so numbers stay clear.
