Wairarapa Film Festival - a great weather-proof event!
The Masterton programme for the Wairarapa Film Festival is being presented at Regent 3 Cinemas, Masterton District Library, Kuranui and Wairarapa College, on 25 – 28th May 2023. There will be a mix of in-cinema screenings with guest speakers, in-school rangatahi filmmaking workshops, and a free whānau-friendly screening at your local library.
We are so lucky to live in a region where local film and filmmakers are valued. We have world-class filmmakers who hail from this region – Jemaine Clement, Barry Barclay, Vincent Ward, and Ramai Haywood are just a few examples. We also have world-class filmmakers who come to this region to help tell our stories, such as Dame Gaylene Preston.
Check out the full programme here and of course online:

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
