Welcome to the Wairarapa Cinematheque

Film lovers in the Wairarapa have a new home for cinema. The Wairarapa Cinematheque launches in 2025 with a curated programme of classics, contemporary gems, and cult favourites — films you rarely get to see on the big screen.

Rochelle (2024) & Bellbird (2019) – Double Feature | Wairarapa Cinematheque

✨ Two powerful New Zealand films, one unforgettable evening on the big screen.

🎥 Rochelle (2024)
A brazen young man takes it upon himself to send his friend’s busted-up car, Rochelle, out in style by entering it in a local demolition derby. But to get there, he needs help from an unexpected source. A bold and surprising new story of friendship, loyalty, and going out with a bang.

🎥 Bellbird (2019)
Set in the heart of rural New Zealand, Bellbird is a tender, funny, and deeply human story of a father and son finding their way after loss. Warm, beautifully observed, and filled with aroha, it’s a heartfelt portrait of resilience, family, and community.

📅 Date & Time: Sunday 26 October, 7:30pm
📍 Location: Regent 3 Cinemas, Masterton
