Cinema Under the Stars, which has proved popular in the past, is returning to Sutherland Shire with family movies at five outdoor locations over the next few weeks.
Screenings will take place at 5pm and 7pm in Cooper Street Reserve, Engadine; Biddy Giles Park at South Village, Kirrawee; Scylla Bay Oval, Como; Parc Menai, Menai; and Marton Reserve, Kurnell.
Sutherland Shire Council is staging the free entertainment, which starts on Australia Day and runs until February 19.
The council ran Cinema Under the Stars from 2005-15 in Cooper St Reserve Engadine.
A council report said, while it was very popular for many years, it was affected by weather due to its May timeslot, with only 80 attendees in 2015.
This, combined with the advent of movie streaming services such as Netflix and Foxtel in 2015, saw the cancellation of the event.
Families attending this year's movies will be offered free popcorn on arrival. They are encouraged to bring along picnic rugs and low chairs.
