1978 | DCP | USA | D: Randal Kleiser

Bad boy Danny (John Travolta) and innocent Aussie Sandy (Olivia Newton-John) sing their hearts out in one of the most successful movie musicals of all time. Set in a fantasy 1950s American high school, Grease slips buckets of sexual innuendo into a seemingly family-friendly flick, with a killer soundtrack and a nostalgia-fuelled storyline.

More than four decades after its release, Grease remains a cultural reference point, sparking debate about its handling of gender roles and women’s sexual empowerment.

‘Grease is at the heart of a raging debate as to whether the film is sexist, or feminist, with a surprising amount of fervour in each corner’ – The Guardian

Hot Summer Nights offers a curated selection of sizzling romances, road trips, suspense, stunning locations and a generous helping of nostalgia. View all screenings

Come along at 6.15pm to enjoy Hot Summer Nights in the NFSA courtyard, with live performance from the Rachael Thoms Trio. Informed by a shared jazz pedigree, the Rachael Thoms Trio specialise in creating soulful, sophisticated playful, and intimate live music performances that defy genre, style and time.

Our onsite cafe and bar will be open from 5.30pm with a range of beers, wines, weekly specialty cocktails, and non-alcoholic drinks available.
