TOP 5 MUST SEE films at the New Zealand International Film Festival

It’s that time again – the New Zealand International Film Festival, aka NZIFF, is back and better than ever! We have complied a short list of our 100% MUST SEE films.

5. TURBO KID

Just by looking at the cultural influences and comedic styling, it’s no surprise that Turbo Kid is directed by a bunch of Kiwis/Canadians. FUN FACT: The three directors are a brother, sister and boyfriend trio. It looks hilarious, exciting and not to mention a little OTT  – and we love it!

4. MOMMY

French/Canadian Xavier Doolan has just released his fifth film! Quite an achievement for the 25-year-old actor/filmmaker and it’s about time it hit our shores.

3. BANKSY DOES NEW YORK

Documenting the frenzy of adulation and controversy that erupted during street artist Banksy’s month-long ‘residency’ in New York, Chris Moukarbel energetically investigates the issues of art and ownership within the public space.

2. THE WOLFPACK

I get chills just watching this trailer. Also I love the blues brother vibe of the brothers hitting the streets.

1. LOVE 3D

Gaspar Noe (Irreversible, Enter The Void) presents his latest film; a sexual melodrama about a boy and a girl and another girl. It’s a love story, which celebrates sex.
