The Euroa Community Cinema will host two school holiday screenings with half-priced ticketing and a free youth movie.

The $5 school holiday movie screenings will feature family-friendly films and include special sensory screenings where the lights are kept on and the volume is turned down.

Strathbogie Shire Council Mayor Cr Laura Binks said the program featured the hilarious animation Minions: The Rise of Gru [PG] and new-release animation Best Birthday Ever [G].

“We know how much-loved the Minions are, first appearing on our screens more than 10 year’s ago in the film Despicable Me,” Cr Binks said.

“It is so fantastic that a decade later, children can still enjoy these hilarious little yellow characters.”

Cr Binks said Best Birthday Ever [G] followed the story of Kalle’s long-awaited birthday which doesn’t turn out at all as he had planned.

“His little sister is ill, and no one has time to celebrate him. He flees to his grandmother’s house in protest, but to get there he must walk through the woods,” Cr Binks said.

“We encourage anyone who wishes to take up the special sensory screening sessions to do so – these are great for people with sensory issues or even families with very young children.

Event details for the School Holiday Movie Program include:

In addition, youth can enjoy a free screening of Thor: Love and Thunder [M].

“There is a photosensitive warning for this movie and bookings can only be made online for the film which features Chris Hemsworth as the God of Thunder, Thor,” Cr Binks said.

Details for the free youth movie include:

“We would also like to remind families that all children attending the Euroa Community Cinema aged 13 years and under must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.”
