New Zealand International Film Festivals
The New Zealand International Film Festival is a film festival held annually across New Zealand throughout the latter half of the year.
In 2009 for the first time the Festival relinquished its various regional names to be called the New Zealand International Film Festival . Until now each region has been promoted with the region’s name despite sharing a common programme and artwork since 2002. The Festival has grown nationally since the merging in 1984 of the Auckland International Film Festival (founded in 1969) and the Wellington Film Festival (1972). The Festival is operated by the New Zealand Film Festival Trust, a charitable trust established in 1996 based in Wellington.

“Why wont they let a year die without bringing in a new one on the instant, cant they use birth control on time? I want an interregnum. The stupid years patter on with unrelenting feet, never stopping—rising to little monotonous peaks in our imaginations at festivals like New Year’s and Easter and Christmas—But, goodness, why need they do it?”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
