Pike River: Ōtepoti Film Premiere
Sunday, 19th October 2025 6:30 PM
The Playhouse Theatre
Join this special preview screening of PIKE RIVER, the highly anticipated film from Dunedin director - and Playhouse Theatre alum - Robert Sarkies.
The screening will be followed by a Q&A with Robert and Pike River family members Sonya Rockhouse and Anna Osborne.
After the 2010 Pike River Mine explosion claims the lives of 29 men, Sonya Rockhouse and Anna Osborne refuse to stay silent, and become an unstoppable force in a battle of people vs power. Three-time Emmy nominee Melanie Lynskey and acclaimed Kiwi actress Robyn Malcolm lead this powerful true story of courage, friendship and the fight for justice.
Thanks to the support of Film Dunedin, Rialto Cinemas and Madman Entertainment, 100% of ticket sales for this event will go to support the refurbishment of the Playhouse, in honour of Robert's personal connection to the theatre.
