Light House Cuba is an independent cinema on Wigan Street in Te Aro that mixes arthouse and independent films with bigger releases. Its programme runs from French and Spanish drama to Tom Cruise's Digger, Taika Waititi's Klara and the Sun and a new Sense and Sensibility, so an evening here can be a quiet film or a full night out. Light House also runs sites in Petone, and it hosts question-and-answer sessions after some screenings, which is where a cinema like this differs from a multiplex. Recent ones included economist David Steele at Cuba, and filmmaker Jed Fasso with star Bodhi Genis at Petone on 22 October. Every ticket earns Light Club points.
Labour Weekend previews run from Friday 23 to Monday 26 October across all sites, and senior Wednesday previews are on 28 October. Check the current programme before you go, as sessions change.
