Peng Chau Theatre is a defunct cinema on the island of Peng Chau in Hong Kong.
The cinema was inaugurated on the eve of the Lunar New Year (6 February),1978 [1] by Deacon Chiu Te Ken (邱德根) of the Far East Consortium International Limited. The opening ceremony was officiated by John Rawling Todd (杜迪) who was Acting Secretary for the New Territories at the time. The first film to show in the theatre was Gang of Four (四二八). [2]
Due to the decline of industry on Peng Chau and the subsequent decline in population,coupled with the increased popularity of at-home entertainment during the 1970s and 80s,the cinema fell into disuse and was shuttered in the late 1980s. On 8 September 2016 the Antiquities Advisory Board reviewed the heritage grading of the building and declined to give the building a heritage grade. [5] [6] [7] [8] [9]
