New Zealand International Film Festival

The 2024 season of the New Zealand Film Festival is upon us, bringing another round of the finest local and international films to the cinema.

The New Zealand International Film Festival is back, playing at two venues.

There is something for everyone including a large selection of Kiwi films, documentaries, horror, drama, award-winning films from this year's festival circuit, music films, and some offbeat films that defy definition. There are also a few Q&A sessions where the director is in attendance.

For many of these films, it will be the first or only time for Kiwi audiences to see them at the cinema. 

Multi-trip passes and senior and student discounts are all available. 

If you haven't been to the cinema in a while, this is a great opportunity to catch some of this year's best films in the way they were meant to be experienced.
