$16- 17 per hour

Whether you’re after the chance to build your technical expertise, or perhaps heading towards retirement; here’s an opportunity to develop and build your skills while working with a great group of volunteers and other staff, all committed to operating and developing Hokitika’s Regent Theatre.

The Regent Theatre is owned and operated by a community society providing Hokitika with a cinema, a theatre, a town hall, and a great café. And we’re open 7 days a week. We pride ourselves on our state-of-the art digital film technology which we’re constantly upgrading to improve our theatre experience.

We’re looking for a new In-House Technician to look after our IT network, and our projection and building systems. It’s a varied role – in an average day you’ll will do anything from adjust our satellite dish for a concert simulcast, set up movies in the projection system, change the filters on the heating system, or sort out a software glitch. And you’ll be well supported – we have higher level support available for all of our systems as well as to provide training and development.

You may – or may not - have a formal technical qualification, but you will be confident dealing with new technologies, and be quick at identifying problems and working through solutions. You’ll also be able to run a routine maintenance programme on the Theatre’s equipment to minimise any downtime. You’ll work with other technical specialists on projects, liaise with our technical partners around the country, and deal with film distributors on film and projection issues. You’ll also maintain the documentation on our technology, and be happy to share your expertise with others. Some Photoshop skills would be an added plus, as would a background in theatre productions or events.

This is a great opportunity to learn about some new technologies in a fast paced and busy environment. You’ll also learn something about theatre craft and the cinema industry. And if you like the movies and shows – we have some great staff benefits for you as well.

You’ll have a cool head, work well with others and have an open and honest communication style.
We estimate this is about 20 hour a week, but there may be additional hours involved depending on the demands of the theatre. And, if you love the theatre environment and are flexible as to what you do, there is also the opportunity to get involved in other aspects of the cinema and theatre as well.

If you are interested, or if you would like more information, then please contact Vaughan Bradley, Theatre Manager 03 755 8611, or manager@hokitikaregent.com with any questions regarding the role.
Applications Close 25 November

We wish everyone a safe Halloween but we need to remember that not everyone wants to be part of Halloween celebrations.

For some older people Halloween can be a frightening and scary time so here are some helpful tips so everyone can enjoy themselves and come away with fond memories:

- Make it a family affair and go trick or treating with your kids or a group from your neighbourhood.
- Call your neighbours in advance to make sure it’s okay to call in to trick-or-treat
- If you don’t want trick-or-treaters calling print or make a sign for your letterbox or window saying no thanks. (New Zealand Police have had downloadable signs)
- If you are a trick-or-treater, respect the people who have a sign asking for you to stay away
- Keep your lights on and guests outside
- Keep your eye out for your older family members, friends and neighbours this Halloween and make sure we all get to enjoy the celebration.

Remember you can help make this a great celebration for your family and community and a great opportunity to connect with your older neighbours.

If you want to go one step further Age Concern New Zealand would like to encourage all Kiwis to sign up to their Dignity Champion Campaign to show a commitment to breaking down ageism and stereotypes and encouraging dignity and respect for older people.

Become an Age Concern Dignity Champion www.ageconcern.org.nz... this Halloween and involve and celebrate the older people in your lives.

Doctor Strange - Starting Thursday 27th October, 8.15pm

Based on the Marvel Comic character - Dr Stephen Strange - whose life changes following a car accident which robs him of the use of his hands. When traditional medicine fails him, he sets out on a journey and encounters a powerful sorcerer known as the ‘Ancient One’, who later becomes Strange's mentor in the mystic arts. Brilliant special effects which lead the Hollywood Reporter to observe “that Doctor Strange enters a dazzling zone in which whole slabs of the New York cityscape fold down, multiply and assume new configurations in ways that take their cue from Inception but go far beyond it in visual spectacle.” This movie also has an excellent cast with Benedict Cumberbatch, Tilda Swindon, Rachel McAdams and Mads Mikkelsen.
