Spiritual Cinema

Waiheke Spiritual Cinema Circle is a group of people who get together every month for an offering of films from all over the world that explore the questions of who we are, why we're here and where we're going with a focus on inspiring, enthusing and entertaining you — and fundraising for Island causes at the same time.


Spiritual Cinema evenings are held on the last Wednesday of each month at Waiheke Community Cinema, starting at 7:30pm, and are sponsored by Waiheke Wellness, Auckland City and the Cinema.


Entry is by donation ($10 suggested) or by koha, and proceeds go to a different community group every month.


Screenings are restricted to Cinema Circle members: you can join at the door (annual sub of $2).

Unlike Tony, his parents are proud of being different and determined to find him a girlfriend. Will they succeed? [20m]

7:50 Pie 'n Burger: Holly Stinson waits on tables while waiting on something better to come her way. Sure enough, a mysterious stranger shows up and takes a seat in her section. His offbeat charm changes the diner for a night — but discovering his identity will change Holly's life forever. [20m]
