Short films are a unique art form - and Aotearoa is excellent at making them. Every year at the New Zealand International Film Festival the "New Zealand Best Short Film Competition" is a highlight.

We will be showing 6 short films (under 15 minutes) from Aotearoa-New Zealand to mark the Waitangi season. There will be a focus on Māori directors, but also a feature by the incomparable Fred Dagg and a meditation on "cows" - not to be missed!
