Our very own Matakana Cinemas was recently named in the top-2, must-visit cinemas in Tāmaki Makaurau, Auckland by The Spinoff!

"The Matakana Cinemas is a standard by which other cinemas should be measured. It feels very much of its community, an extension of the space of which locals clearly feel quite proud. It has strong programming and theatres that are in-and-of-themselves something to see, let alone the movies they’re showing. If I’m ever headed north, I make a point of stopping by and seeing what’s on." - Tom Augustine, Guest Writer for The Spinoff.
