The organisation running the oldest purpose-built cinema in the Southern Hemisphere, Devonport's historic Victoria Theatre, is seeking expressions of interest from a new operator.
The cinema, opened in 1912, was shut for some years this century, but reopened in late October 2010.
Margot McRae of the Victoria Theatre Trust said
the organisation was calling for applications for the operation of the building, also a performing arts venue, in the main street of Devonport.
She paid tribute to cinema chief John Davies, who now currently runs the three-screen Victoria Picture Palace.
"The trust is very appreciative of cinema manager John Davies and we will be working through the process together.
