Magic moments from television and silver screen will be presented without charge in a customised caravan on Earnslaw Park, Queenstown, on Monday and Tuesday.
New Zealand on Screen is offering South Island residents and visitors the opportunity to enjoy an extensive array of Kiwi film, television, documentary and music video as part of the Real New Zealand Festival.
The caravan is an original 1971 Oxford, which has been reconfigured by Alton Harrison, who built caravans in Levin in the 1970s. He and his son worked with production design company Storybox - which usually converts shipping containers into interactive exhibits - to create the travelling cinema.
Storybox creative director Rob Appeirdo, of Wellington, said the unusual nature of the design process had been a bit of a challenge, "but we're proud to have made what must be the smallest cinema in the country".
