Whānau Mārama: New Zealand International Film Festival announces its full programme for the Gore leg of the festival, featuring 32 feature films from 15 countries. The festival will run for 11 days at the SBS St James Theatre from Thursday, 11 November and tickets are on sale now.
NZIFF has worked with all its partner venues and cinemas around the country to be able to present the festival under the new Alert Level 2 requirements in 12 towns and cities nationwide.
“We’re excited to share our outstanding 2021 programme with Gore audiences in a safe environment this November. We hope that the people of Gore will show their support for the festival by visiting the SBS St James Theatre to check out as many of the fantastic New Zealand and international films that we’ve selected as possible,” says Festival Director Marten Rabarts.
Films joining NZIFF’s 2021 line-up for Gore include, Sundance Film Festival’s Grand Jury Prize winning documentary, Flee; decorated Chinese director Zhang Yimou’s love letter to cinema, One Second; and Bosnia and Herzegovina’s contender for the 2021 Best International Feature Oscar, Jasmila Zbanic’s Quo Vadis, Aida?
Delivering star power is Berlin Golden Bear nominee, Maria Schrader’s I’m Your Man, featuring Downton Abbey’s Dan Stevens as a love android; Academy Award winning Danish director Anders Thomas Jensen’s black comedy revenge thriller, Riders of Justice, starring Mads Mikkelsen, and moving literary memoir My Salinger Year, staring Sigourney Weaver and rising star Margaret Qualley (Maid).
Thirteen films direct from the Cannes Film Festival are confirmed to screen in Gore, including Palme d’or winner Titane; Grand Prix award winners, A Hero, from decorated Iranian director Asghar Farhadi and Juho Kuosmanen’s offbeat train romance, Compartment No. 6; and Venice Film Festival Special Jury Prize Winner Dear Comrades!
New Zealand films screening in Gore include, Signed, Theo Schoon, in which art historian and filmmaker Luit Bieringa re-examines the legacy of the often-contested Dutch immigrant artist; and Amy Taylor’s MILKED, a spirited documentary that sees a young activist from rural Northland go up against the powerful dairy industry. In addition to short film competition New Zealand’s Best, a selection of homegrown shorts will play ahead of feature films throughout the festival.
