The Mighty Civic


The Mighty Civic

Synopsis

More than a movie palace, it is a magic carpet to generations of New Zealand movie-goers. The Mighty Civic is a highly spiced blend of history, Fantasy/Sci-Fi and actuality. Old showgirls reminisce; an enchanted usherette leads you on a voyage of discovery into the secrets of Auckland's Xanadu. Cinema moguls break their hearts, dancing girls tiptoe over champagne-drenched carpets, American G.I.s meet Kiwi beauties under the twinkling stars of the Civic's midnight roof. From award-winning filmmakers Peter Wells and Stewart Main of Desperate Remedies and A Death In The Family.
