The annual New Zealand International Film Festival continues to be the premier film event of the year, and the cultural highlight of the New Zealand winter. We bring an impressive array of the latest and best films from all over the world to 15 cities and towns around New Zealand.

The Festival commences in mid-July, lighting up central Auckland. The line-up will feature more than 140 titles including key titles from the Cannes and Sundance film festivals.

All films, other than designated retrospectives, are New Zealand premieres (a key requirement for films in the programme) so that we can offer audiences their first-ever opportunity to taste a cinematic smorgasbord of titles not confined to the mainstream.

A rich and varied programme of international and homegrown features and documentaries as well as key retrospective presentations have been announced. All announced films can be found at http://www.nzff.co.nz/auckland/find-a-film

The Auckland leg of the Festival will open with Florian Habicht’s Love Story at The Civic on July 14. The film is part romantic comedy, part documentary as Habicht searches for love in New York.

The World Premiere of Annie Goldson’s new documentary Brother Number One will be a highlight of the Framing Reality section of the programme. New Zealander Kerry Hamill, was captured, tortured and killed by Khmer Rouge in 1978. Goldson follows Kerry’s brother, Olympian and Trans-Atlantic rowing champion, Rob Hamill on his journey to Cambodia to testify for the War Crimes Tribunal in Phnom Penh.

The Festival’s retrospective programme is always hugely popular. This year audiences will have the chance to enjoy Martin Scorsese’s gritty Taxi Driver in all its glory on 35mm film on the giant CinemaScope screens at The Mighty Civic in Auckland.

Mana Waka, the 1990 feature-length documentary directed by Merata Mita, will screen as a tribute to the filmmaker who passed away suddenly a year ago. The film is made from footage shot by RGH Manley between 1937 and 1940 of the construction of three waka for the 1940 centenary of the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi. The screening has been made possible by the Saving Frames project, a partnership between the Film Archive, Park Road Post Production and the Government of New Zealand. Mana Waka will screen in Auckland at The Civic.

The Festival travels to the main centres – Auckland, Wellington, Dunedin, Christchurch, Palmerston North, Hamilton – before continuing around the country to Nelson, Tauranga, New Plymouth, Hawke’s Bay, Greymouth, Masterton, Gisborne and finishes in Kerikeri in November.

Auckland programmes are available from Wednesday 22 June and tickets are on sale from Thursday 23 June.

Censorship classifications will be published in the Festival’s programme, daily newspaper advertising, website and will be displayed at the venues’ box office.
