Rialto Cinema, Dunedin, Heritage cinema in Moray Place, Dunedin, New Zealand.
The Rialto Cinema operates six screening rooms within a restored building, featuring a combination of Art Deco and Moorish architectural elements throughout its structure.
Constructed in 1916 as the Empire Theatre by architect Edmund Anscombe, the building originally contained 2,000 seats and underwent substantial modifications during the 1920s.
The cinema presents a mix of mainstream movies, independent films, international productions, and live broadcasts from The Metropolitan Opera and National Theatre.
Located 200 meters from The Octagon, the cinema provides convenient access to public transportation and offers parking facilities in the adjacent Moray Place building.
The theater ceiling incorporates concealed lighting systems that generate a night sky effect, continuing a design feature from its 1920s renovation period.
