Check out the work by WIFT members at this year's Doc Edge International Documentary Film Festival.
Frances Hodgkins, Anything But a Still Life by New Zealand/French filmmaker Blandine Massiet du Biest, which unveils the life and art of one of New Zealand’s most revered painters; and Taking Back our Beach by Rosalie Liddle Crawford and Anton Steel, which is about the response by a community to New Zealand's largest environmental disaster, the MV Rena grounding on Astrolabe Reef.
The festival will run from 24 May to 9 July in Auckland at The Capitol Cinema (24 May – 5 June), Wellington at The Roxy Cinema (7 – 18 June) and nationwide online at docedge.nz (19 June – 9 July), so no matter where you live in the country, Doc Edge is here to entertain, inform and expand your mind.
Doc Edge has become a vital platform for local and international filmmakers to showcase their unique stories and perspectives through the art of documentary filmmaking. This year’s festival promises to be even more remarkable, with a diverse range of films that explore topics such as social justice, environmental challenges, human rights, arts, and much more.
Tickets for the festival are on sale from 26 April and can be purchased through the festival’s website.
