First Film
Announcements for NZIFF
The New Zealand International Film Festival (NZIFF) today
reveals the first five films of the 2016 programme, which will screen in
Auckland from 14 July.
“We’ve chosen to reveal these five films first because
audiences have been requesting them ever since they appeared overseas, or in
the case of High-Rise, ever since the first trailer launched. NZIFF July
is still a while away, and programming is still underway, but we encourage you
to start booking out your diary now for those winter weeks at the movies.” says
NZIFF Director Bill Gosden.
Heart of a Dog
An
enchanted cinematic essay by legendary performance artist Laurie Anderson. Centering on Anderson's beloved rat terrier
Lolabelle, who died in 2011, Heart of a Dog is a self-narrated punk meditation on
love and death; exquisitely crafted and effortlessly profound.
High-Rise
In Ben Wheatley's ambitious, wildly disorienting adaptation of the J.G.
Ballard novel, tenants of a high-tech skyscraper slip into a literal class war.
Starring Tom Hiddleston, Jeremy Irons, Sienna Miller, and Elisabeth Moss.
NUTS!
Loaded with wry
humour and surprising rug-pulls, Penny Lane’s supremely strange biography of
20s impotence-cure mogul J.R. Brinkley is the documentary oddity every festival
watch-list needs at least one of.
Midnight Special
Michael Shannon, Joel Edgerton, Adam Driver, Kirsten Dunst and newcomer
Jaeden Lieberher star in this dazzling, genre-defying sci-fi/chase movie from
the director of Mud and Take Shelter.
Tanna
Australian documentary filmmakers Bentley Dean and Martin
Butler collaborated with villagers in the Vanuatu highlands who’d never seen a
movie to create this ravishing cinematic expression of traditional culture and
forbidden love.
NZIFF is run by a charitable trust and encourages lively
interactions between films, filmmakers and New Zealand audiences in 13 towns
and cities around the country. The full NZIFF programme will be available from
Tuesday 21 June for Auckland, and Friday 24 June for Wellington. NZIFF starts
in Auckland on 14 July and in Wellington from 22 July in 2016.
