Launched in 2009, and the first of its kind in Australia, Underground Cinema is a secret, live, immersive cinema experience held in undisclosed locations in Melbourne and Sydney.
We exist to make people feel.
We believe in challenging perceptions and merging traditional forms of storytelling, performance and cinema.
We create entirely immersive worlds unlike any other where you discover and explore new experiences and ideas.
Who we are isn't all that important, what we do is take cinema out of the cinema
and invite you along for the ride.

too many secrets.
secret stuff.
Underground Cinema is not just a movie. It's a 4+ hour immersive participatory experience unlike any other.
This is not your average multiplex experience; arriving at our secret locations is like walking onto a film set with actors, sets and costumes.
We keep our locations a secret and the films identity a mystery too.
