Whānau Mārama: New Zealand International Film Festival (NZIFF) is an annual film festival that has been presented in New Zealand for 58 years, and in 2026, we’ll be celebrating our 50th year in Ōtautahi.
Set to take place from 6 – 23 August in three venues across Christchurch, including the iconic Isaac Theatre Royal, NZIFF is the place to see award-winning international cinema, New Zealand premieres, homegrown stories, and daring documentaries.
