The most engaging Kiwi cinema experience of the year is coming to Sydney in October.
Kiwi Connect’s ninth annual New Zealand Short Film Festival, a sell-out event in recent years, showcases uniquely Kiwi stories from Aotearoa’s most gifted movie-makers.
Often hilarious, sometimes confronting, but always moving…the event’s cinematic core is augmented by the tastes of Godzone, including a complimentary glass of wine, and a Kiwi-themed goody bag.
