New Cinema Lineup: The Musicians, Leviticus, The Death of Robin Hood, Toy Story 5 and the 2026 HSBC Spanish & Latin American Film Festival
Adelaide’s cinema screens this week are brimming with variety, from the sharp wit of The Musicians to the family‑friendly adventure of Toy Story 5, the gritty drama of The Death of Robin Hood, and the teen‑romance thriller Leviticus. These releases run alongside the 29th edition of the HSBC Spanish & Latin American Film Festival, which opens on 10 June at Palace Nova Cinemas and closes on 5 July.
The Musicians, distributed by Palace Films, is a comedy of manners rated PG. Astrid Thompson, played by an up‑and‑coming Australian actress, is driven to honor her late industrialist father’s final wish: to assemble four priceless Stradivarius‑stringed instruments for a premiere recital of a new composition by his favourite artist. With only six days to rehearse, the quartet must overcome personal differences and prejudice, while Astrid persuades the reclusive composer Charlie Beaumont out of seclusion to save the event.
Released by Causeway Films & Salmira Productions, Leviticus is also rated PG. The film follows teenage boys Naim and Ryan as they navigate a tentative romantic relationship. Their bond attracts a violent supernatural entity that takes the form of the person they desire most, forcing the pair to survive by denying their feelings for one another.
Distributed by A24 and rated MA15+, The Death of Robin Hood reimagines the legendary outlaw as a former criminal who, after a battle he believes to be his last, is gravely injured. In the hands of a mysterious woman, he is offered a chance at redemption.
Pixar Animation Studios releases Toy Story 5 under a G rating. The toys return to face a new challenge when they encounter Lilypad, a tablet device that arrives with disruptive ideas about what is best for their child, Bonnie. The film explores whether playtime can remain unchanged.
The 2026 HSBC Spanish & Latin American Film Festival is the festival’s 29th edition and will run from 10 June to 5 July at Palace Nova Cinemas – Glam Adelaide. The program showcases contemporary cinema from Spain and Latin America, featuring acclaimed filmmakers, award‑winning titles and emerging voices. According to the festival’s official website, the schedule includes premieres, special events and screenings designed to introduce Australian audiences to the region’s cultural narratives.
Local cinemas have posted session times for the festival and the new releases. The festival’s full programme is available on the HSBC Spanish & Latin American Film Festival website, with additional information provided through Glam Adelaide’s coverage of the event.
By pairing mainstream releases with a focused international festival, Adelaide offers a diverse viewing experience. The festival’s emphasis on Spanish and Latin American stories complements the domestic releases, broadening perspectives on global cinema trends.
The inclusion of The Musicians underscores the continued fascination with Stradivarius instruments, whose legacy as some of the finest string instruments remains a topic of debate among musicians and collectors. The film’s premise of a live‑streamed concert also reflects the growing intersection of classical music and digital distribution.
Leviticus adds to the growing number of films that explore LGBTQ+ relationships in contemporary settings, while The Death of Robin Hood revisits a classic legend through a modern, darker lens. Toy Story 5 continues Pixar’s long‑running franchise, maintaining its reputation for family‑friendly storytelling and technological innovation.
Overall, Adelaide’s 2026 cinema schedule blends genre, cultural representation and industry relevance, catering to a wide range of audience interests while reinforcing the city’s role as a hub for film exhibition.
