Maoriland Film Festival Announces 2016 Programme
Today at Te Ra o Waitangi, Maoriland Film Festival revealed their official programme for 2016.
Maoriland Film Festival is New Zealand’s premiere International Indigenous Film Festival, now in it’s third year of operation.
To be held from the 23rd to the 27th of March, 2016, this year’s programme features a spectacular range of Indigenous films from the Sami people of the North to our own Maori in Aotearoa.
Festival director Libby Hakaraia said the strong lineup of Indigenous films at Maoriland this year would provide unique insights into cultures the world over.
‘We are humbled that so many high calibre International, Pacific and Maori filmmakers are coming to the 3rd Maoriland Film Festival. They bring with them their films from all four points of the world including Burma, Iran, USA, Canada, South and Central America, Scandinavia and Europe.’
In 2016, Maoriland Film Festival is excited to be showing it’s strongest Polynesian line up yet with films such as Three Wise Cousins, In Football We Trust and Voyage Into The Depths of Kanaloa.
Maoriland Film Festival will also present Lee Tamahori’s new film, Mahana (based on Witi Ihimaera’s Bulibasha), and the high energy South Auckland set Born To Dance (directed by Tammy Davis).
Starring Stan Walker and newcomer Tia Maipi, Born To Dance is choreographed by International hip hop sensation, New Zealand Parris Goebel.
Born To Dance will be one of two FREE outdoor whanau screenings.
The other FREE outdoor screening will see the filmmakers and actors of the smash self funded film, Three Wise Cousins join us for the closing night of the festival.
Over the five days of Maoriland Film Festival, filmmakers young and old are invited to join us for filmmaking workshops.
With more films and events yet to be announced, Maoriland Film Festival looks forward to another fantastic year in ‘Sunny Otaki’.
