Fiume o Morte invites us to remember a forgotten part of history, and in telling D’annunzio’s story, he is humanised in a way where the word “fascist” is not the only way to describe him, instead his story can only be explained in tandem with the people of Fiume who he so deeply impacted.
A must-see for every young adult, especially Straightwhitemaliens

Review by Harry Bradshaw. THE WEED EATERS is a local horror-comedy about cannibal weed, premiering yesterday during the NZ International Film Festival. TWE is destined for cult fame: it’s hilarious, skin-crawling, original genius.
Familiar Touch truly blends memory, sensation, and emotion creating a tender exploration of dementia, while depicting the raw humanity in experiencing the final stage of a life well loved.
Anarchic, complicated, and heart-wrenching, Magic Farm is a satirical film by Amalia Ulman, now screening for the 2025 NZIFF.
