Doc Edge Virtual Cinema will go live on the streaming platform and run for two weeks, from Monday 15 July to Wed 31 July 2024 New Zealand time.

We encourage you to pre-purchase film tickets or passes in advance. All 66 films and ticket info are on top of this page. 

No.  All the 66 films are geo-blocked for New Zealand only.  In other words, only those within New Zealand can stream and watch online.

Once a film session is started, a 48-hour window is open to complete watching the film. Once that closes, you can’t watch the film again.
