Staff Picks: Manali Bhatia

2011 was the first year I ever attended NZIFF, while studying Film. Ever since then, the famous 10-trip pass’ has always been my ‘go-to’ to fully immerse myself in the cinematic corners of this festival. Working for NZIFF has been on my bucket list and I’m over the moon to be part of the Auckland team this year! This season, NZIFF have also adopted two new venues this year and I look forward to catching some of my Picks on the latest big screens!
