When the PAW Patrol's archrival, Mayor Humdinger, begins recklessly mining in hopes of exploiting the island for its natural resources, he inadvertently causes a huge, dormant volcano to erupt.

Comedy Drama
Rating: PG
Runtime: 1hr 39min

Some things are worth fighting for

1978 is a comedy-drama, coming-of-age, family movie. We follow the footsteps of the Ropata family in a rural Aotearoa New Zealand community and the struggles of each family member in the tumultuous year of 1978. Our heroes are fighting for two causes - one set against the backdrop of the true, historic New Zealand Māori land protests, and the other against the landscape of a rural community fighting against closures that are forcing people to move to bigger cities. Nine children battle to save their country school at an inter-school sports competition with comedic schemes reminiscent of cunning kids in films like Home Alone or The Little Rascals. The story contains the coming-of-age adventures of films like Stand By Me and The Goonies. Simultaneously, two older brothers grapple with their conflicting beliefs around the fight for their ancestral lands in a brotherhood conflict akin to movies like Backdraft and East of Eden. 1978 delivers two powerful and parallel intergenerational stories that carry the same universal message of community, belonging and standing up for what you believe in.

Directors: Isaac Lee, April Phillips

Actors: Fredrick Pokai,Tukairangi Maxwell, Shania Bailey-Edmonds, Mark Hadlow, Des Morgan

☕ Does anyone have a tea trolley looking for a new home?

We’re looking for a sturdy tea trolley to help serve morning tea at our Golden Oldies sessions at Regent Cinema.

For some of our moviegoers with mobility difficulties, staying upstairs in the cinema for their cuppa would make things much easier. A trolley would let us safely bring their tea and bickies up in our fantastic lift! 🫖🍪

If you have a trolley you’d be happy to donate, or know of one available, please message us or leave a comment below.

Thanks for helping us make our Golden Oldies mornings welcoming and comfortable for everyone. ❤️
