Horror, heartbreak, history and a healthy dose of the utterly unhinged… the first films to join this year’s lineup have all that and more.
Our Centrepiece film for NZIFF 2026 is... Lomu!
Directed by Vea Mafile’o and Gavin Fitzgerald, Lomu is lighting up the big screen at Tāmaki Makaurau’s mighty Civic on Saturday 1 August before playing across the motu through the festival.
We’re back for 2026!
Save the date, NZIFF is coming to a cinema near you from 29 July! See below for date details, and stay tuned for venue and film updates.
