Fungi Film Fest Whangārei (FFFWh) is our very own screening of the world’s only film festival dedicated to the beauty, otherworldliness, and human influences of mushrooms, lichens, and micro fungi. Each year brings a different mix of films, with this year's program hosting 14 short films from 8 countries at about 125 minutes of run time. Our screening will also include a bonus screening of a local submission which didn't quite make the cut for the official film set. The films are all ages, but the recommended age for the films is 10 to 100. Our delightful intermission will offer you tasty mushroom treats and the opportunity to meet other fungus fans!
