The British & Irish Film Festival is back for its second edition, bringing the best of the 2024 Toronto Film Festival (TIFF) lineup to New Zealand cinemas as well as selected Cannes Film Festival favourites.
From Kerikeri to Dunedin, the festival will screen from 23 October to 13 November, with five new locations making this the biggest British & Irish Film Festival to date.
Festival Director Fergus Grady is “excited to add Howick in Auckland, Napier, Whanganui, Masterton, and Rangiora to this year’s festival circuit” and plans on growing the festival further into regional New Zealand in the coming years.
Opening the festival direct from TIFF & Telluride film festivals comes CONCLAVE starring Ralph Fiennes, Stanley Tucci, John Lithgow, & Isabella Rossellini.
The line-up is full of further star-studded performances, including Andew Garfield & Florence Pugh (WE LIVE IN TIME), Pierce Brosnan, Gabriel Byrne & Helena Bonham Carter (FOUR LETTERS OF LOVE), Jude Law & Alicia Vikander (FIREBRAND), and Barry Keoghan (BIRD).
