The New Zealand Film Archive has a new Mediaplex Centre, designed to meet public demand for more film screenings and provide access to Film Archive collections.
Mediaplex Features
- Theatre and display area
- Library
- Online database
As well as being a tourist attraction, the Mediaplex makes an important contribution to the city's cultural life. It attracts around 135,000 visitors a year.
Budget
The Film Archive raised most of the $5 million needed to build the facility.
The Council contributed a one-off capital works grant of $100,000 toward construction of the Mediaplex, as well as an annual operating grant of $50,000 for each of the facility's first three years.
The Film Archive covers its $500,000-a-year running costs from cafe sales, film admission charges and sponsorship of the facility.
