On the big screen<br />
The first South Island city to enjoy this year’s Whānau<br />
Mārama: New Zealand International Film Festival is<br />
Christchurch. The Isaac Theatre Royal and Lumière Cinemas<br />
share the programme, which runs from <strong>October</strong> 29 to<br />
November 14 and opens with the world premiere of Kiwi<br />
Dame Jane Campion’s latest movie. Based on the 1967<br />
Thomas Savage novel of the same name, The Power of the<br />
Dog was filmed entirely in the South Island, with a cast that<br />
includes Benedict Cumberbatch, Kirsten Dunst, Jesse Plemons,<br />
Kodi Smit-McPhee and Kiwi actress Thomasin McKenzie.<br />
Among the critics’ favourites from Cannes and Sundance is<br />
Memoria, which sees Tilda Swinton on a strange supernatural<br />
journey into the Colombian jungle. There’s the world<br />
premiere of Fiona Clark: Unafraid, which looks at how<br />
this Kiwi photographer continued to fight for marginalised<br />
communities, even after her 1970s documentation of<br />
Auckland’s burgeoning queer scene saw her work censored,<br />
removed or banned. For a look into the life of a celebrity chef,<br />
Roadrunner: A Film About Anthony Bourdain serves as a tribute<br />
to the late TV star.<br />
The festival lands in Dunedin (Rialto Cinemas Dunedin and<br />
the Regent Theatre) on November 5 and Timaru (Movie Max<br />
Digital) on November 11. nziff.co.nz<br />
