We proudly present a slate of powerful local films that illuminate and challenge our national character. Featuring 10 World Premieres, the 2023 selection includes new documentaries which shine a light on artists, musicians (including a post-screening gig) and personalities, while feature dramas bring distinctly New Zealand stories to the screen.
We continue to celebrate the short film format with two curated programmes collecting the best new shorts from Aotearoa and the Pacific community in New Zealand’s Best 2023 and Ngā Whanaunga Māori Pasifika Shorts.
