A bit of history was destroyed last week when a cinema in the South Island town of Roxburgh was razed by fire.
Films have been screening on that site for almost 130 years, making it the oldest continuously operating movie theatre in the southern hemisphere and the second oldest in the world.
Locals may have lost their beloved building, but they are determined to preserve their world record status with, not surprisingly, a bit of Kiwi ingenuity.
