The New Zealand International Film Festival is a national event extending the cinematic options of audiences and filmmakers throughout New Zealand.
An annual programme of between 150-170 features is presented in Auckland and Wellington. NZIFF opens in Auckland one weekend and gets underway in Wellington the next, overlapping for ten of their respective 17-day seasons. A smaller programme then travels to twelve further centres. The consolidation of several separately evolved Festivals into a single event known as The New Zealand International Film Festival occurred for the first time in 2009.
NZIFF is a non-competitive Festival, although since 2012 we have presented the 'New Zealand's Best' short film competition. We hope to encourage developing filmmakers by providing this showcase of the best in NZ short filmmaking talent through audience engagement and peer participation.
