On Monday 12 August we were honoured to welcome Sir Peter Jackson to The Embassy Theatre in Wellington for a special 30th Anniversary Screening of Heavenly Creatures, marking the poignant culmination of another successful year for the New Zealand International Film Festival in the capital.

This special screening took us back to where where we first presented the World Premiere of Peter Jackson’s ground-breaking film in 1994. 

A concurrent screening took place at The Civic Theatre in Auckland, with another special guest in attendance — Production Designer, Grant Major.

Special thanks to Peter Jackson, Grant Major and all at Wingnut Films Productions for making this special double screening possible.

We are proud to be presenting a third screening of Heavenly Creatures at Lumière Cinemas in Christchurch on Monday 2 September. Tickets selling fast.
