In Conversation with Oscar-Winning Costume Designer Ngila Dickson

We're thrilled to invite you to an intimate WIFT Wellington evening in conversation with one of New Zealand's most iconic screen artists, Academy Award-winning costume designer Ngila Dickson.

Ngila's career spans decades and continents, with credits including The Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Last Samurai, and more recently, Predator: Badlands.

Her work is a masterclass in visual storytelling. The kind that shapes how audiences feel about a character long before the dialogue begins.

We'll hear about her time in the industry, the insights she's gathered along the way, and her enduring love for the visual craft.

Date: Monday 15 June 2026
Location: Weta Workshop Group Space, 129 Park Road
