The Film Archive is the home of New Zealand’s moving image history with over 150,000 titles spanning feature films, documentaries, short films, home movies, newsreels, TV programmes and advertisements.

With a comfy cafe, gallery, cinema and media library boasting thousands of kiwi classics, searchable online catalogue and personal viewing areas, our central Wellington home is a great place to lose yourself for a few hours - or a few weeks.

We also have a gallery and library in Auckland, a travelling film show, an expanding network of partner sites at galleries, libraries and museums around New Zealand and a whole lot online, right here.
