NZFF announces Autumn Programme

---

NZIFF will present a series of Autumn Events this April and May in Auckland and Wellington.

The new NZFF programme gets underway in high style with beautiful new digital restorations of Lawrence of Arabia and Guys and Dolls.

NZ premiere screenings of Oscar-nominated Kon-Tiki and Ant Timpson's The ABC's of Death will round out our first event in Auckland: A Big Weekend at the Civic.

Further Autumn Events – filmmaker retrospectives, hot documentaries, feature premieres – will be announced to take place at the newly refurbished Academy Cinemas, and Rialto Cinemas in Auckland in late April and May.

In Wellington NZIFF is planning to host Guys and Dolls and Lawrence of Arabia at the Embassy Theatre from 20 April. The remaining Autumn screenings, including presentations of Kon-Tiki and ABCs, will take place at the Paramount.

 The Autumn Events will screen at a time of year that previously would have seen NZIFF’s World Cinema Showcase screenings taking place in the four main centres.

The schedule for the Civic screenings will be online and tickets on-sale from Tuesday 12 March directly from Edge ticketing outlets. Further information about other event screenings will follow later this week. A free printed calendar for the full panoply of NZIFF Autumn Events will be available around Auckland and Wellington from the end of March.
