A festival for independent, NZ-made films

Join us for a weekend of bold, independent films at Misty Flicks.

From shorts to features, youth films to Challenge films, the festival showcases diverse voices and stories made right here in Aotearoa.

Alongside screenings, enjoy Q&A sessions with the filmmakers, panel discussions, and opportunities to connect.

Whether you’re in the film industry, a film-lover or simply curious, Misty Flicks offers an unforgettable chance to experience cinema that inspires, provokes, and reflects the world around us.

Be part of the movement that celebrates New Zealand’s independent film culture—authentic, inclusive, and proudly showcased here in the Waikato.
