You Call That a Prawn? by Kira http://www.futureperth.org/projects/whynot/events/australian-films/#comment-755 Kira Wed, 22 Feb 2012 02:32:54 +0000 http://www.futureperth.org/?page_id=924#comment-755 We are blessed to have the kitsch Art Deco Picadilly Cinemas in the heart of the city, although it is a shame that the other inner city cinema complexes disappeared. With the now-established One Up Microcinema on William St, free films on the permanent screen in the Perth Cultural Centre, an increasingly community-friendly atmosphere at the Northbridge Piazza, private theatrette The Jaffa Room in East Perth and the Artrage pop-up rooftop cinema only days from opening, catching a flick in the city again is becoming a reality for Perth cinephiles. Love Dasha's idea about revitalising more of Perth's forgotten spaces by converting them into licensed microcinemas.

People will start walking less, becoming less active in the main commercial areas, also, it will create more traffic congestion and pollution as people find it hard to manage the new road rules with trams along side them in the day. The trick is to keep people walking and staying active and not just relying on transport to see the city.
