Taranaki's beautifully small cinema — brought to you.

Mini Cine

● About

A vintage caravan falls in love with the movies

A boutique mobile cinema for New Plymouth and beyond — handcrafted, intentional, a little cosmic.

It shows up, glows warm, and for a few hours turns wherever you are into somewhere else entirely.

A caravan that glows from the inside out

How it works

1 Pick your occasion

2 Choose the film —
or bring your own

Private hire for birthdays, reunions, retirements, weddings, or just because. Or grab a ticket to one of our public screenings.

A commercial film of your choice, fully licensed (from The Premiere). Or your own footage — home videos, a wedding reel, a family tribute — on The Matinee.

3 We handle the rest

Seats, sound, lighting, setup and pack-down. You bring the people (and the snacks, if you like).

How people use it

There's no single right way to do Mini Cine — and that's kind of the point.

Make it the main event

A proper cinema night — just smaller, warmer, and yours.

Guests arrive, settle in, and watch something together. Simple, shared, and surprisingly memorable.

Works beautifully for milestone birthdays, team nights, rest homes, and community groups.

Let it run alongside everything else

An open door, a film already playing. People wander in, stay a while, head back out. It becomes its own little pocket within your event.

Perfect for weddings, corporate launches, markets, and festivals.

Or somewhere in between

Open with everyone together, then let it run in the background. You decide how structured the night gets.

Think a birthday that starts with a toast and a short film, then drifts back to the party around it.

Keep it casual, or give it a bit of structure.
