The James Theatre, is located at 6 Brown Street in Dungog, NSW Australia, and is the oldest still running purpose-built cinema in Australia!  It is the centre of activities during the highly acclaimed Dungog Film Festival, which is held annually in autumn and is a non-competitive showcase of new and old Australian features and shorts. We have an active Film Society. And the Friends of James Theatre are actively involved in the refurbishment of the building and Live@theJames, a lively program of events at the theatre:

• Sat 16 June 2012 - We are very excited to be having our first screenings at the James Theatre following the installation of our state of the art digital equipment. And just as excited to be able to show as our first film the locally Dungog, Maitland and Newcastle) made film Bathing Franky - the writer and producer, Michael Winchester, is from Gresford.
