Winton’s Royal open-air Picture Theatre has turned one hundred years old, and is the last of the four open air theatres in the rural town to survive to this day.

The Royal Theatre is often used as a museum for visitors, and at the annual Vision Splendid Outback Film Festival.

However the future of the theatre is in doubt, with the owners unable to provide for an upgrade to a digital projector.

The Theatre currently uses a loaned digital projector to host the film festival, and all other movies are projected using film.
