The Whanau Friendly Short Films are fast becoming one of the most popular sessions at Show Me Shorts. This annual collection of short films is for children and their families to enjoy together.

Meet space travellers delighted by our world, charming robots and radio-active chickens. Hear the song of our beautiful native birds of Aotearoa, and discover unlikely friendships on the beach.
