In this collection of short films for children and their families, cute animals and natural environments come to life in vibrant animations; An aspiring young warrior goes on a valiant quest; A much loved soft toy comes to life; And gnomes declare war on an unsuspecting golf course. Find out why this is one of the most popular sections of Show Me Shorts.
3:45pm Show Me Shorts: Aotearoa (Captioned) /M
Run time: 103mins
New Zealand filmmakers are known for their iconic coming-of-age stories, lush farmland locations and rich cultural traditions. They are also celebrated for their innovative world-building and bold, original ideas. The short films in this collection demonstrate all of that and more. Classic Kiwi actors Rawiri Paratene, Ginette McDonald, Nathanial Lees and Katlyn Wong headline. Meanwhile magical realism and science fiction worlds creep into the lexicon of Aotearoa.
6pm Show Me Shorts: The Sampler
Run time: 99mins
Highlight short films from the festival are collected in this tasty package.
Inspiring and thoughtful stories include a boxing nun, an AI robot, a dedicated teacher and a Palestinian man trying to return home. Much loved stars Hugh Bonneville, Marlon Williams, Thomas Sainsbury and Alison Bruce make an appearance. We have some fun with an out-of-his-depth dad at a twirling competition and a maniacal ice-cream seller on the beach.
