My NZIFF selections tend to favour documentaries and I always look forward to seeing what’s been chosen from the rich global offerings. It’s one of the best winter holidays I can imagine, to cosy up and explore the world from the comfort of the cinema. I’m also really looking forward to taking my wee boy to Toons for Tots at the Embassy - what a treat!
Jess Feast is Wellington based director. Her 2013 documentary Gardening with Soul has its world premiere at NZIFF 2013.

Pulp: a Film about Life, Death & Supermarkets
NZer Florian Habicht’s acclaimed collaboration with Jarvis Cocker fixes the triumphant 2012 concert billed as Pulp’s last ever within a loving portrait of Sheffield and Sheffielders.
The Wonders
Le meraviglie
This intimate portrait of a marvellously idiosyncratic family of beekeepers in the Italian countryside is a classic picture of children growing up in nature – and won its young director the Grand Prix at Cannes.
