Gala opening of The New Zealand International Film Festival

We’re beyond excited to bring you this extraordinary film as our Gala Opening Night screening. A standout at festivals around the world, this stunning Kiwi story unfolds over one unforgettable summer in rural Aotearoa. Set in 2006, we follow 14‑year‑old Sid as she steps into a world of desire, identity, and the early internet—shaping herself in the image of those she longs to be loved by, and discovering the courage to become someone entirely her own.

Join us for a fantastic evening. Your ticket includes a drink, nibbles, and live music to set the mood. Booking is essential.
