New Zealand International Film Festival

The New Zealand International Film Festival breaks up the gloom of a Christchurch winter with two weeks of films for every kind of film lover. Mainstream new releases, art house, cult, documentary, animation — the festival features an absolute smorgasbord for fans.

Film legend Bill Gosden has developed this festival into a nationwide event that plays in 15 towns and cities.
