    • Cinephilia: Film Festival preview
      • The Film Festival has been a fixture of Wellington's winter calendar for nearly 40 years and for those of us who organise our lives around glowing rectangles of one kind or another there is no better way to spend a cold and wet afternoon than in the comfy leather chairs at the Embassy, engrossed in a work of art. Programming a Festival like Wellington may seem easy but I can assure you it's getting tougher every year.

    • It's time to book your tickets..
      • Every year when the Wellington Film Festival rolls around, I do the same stupid thing. I read the programme, circle what I want to see, and then forget about it until it's too late, the films I want to see are sold out or I've run out of money to see them. Well, this year I will be trying my hardest to get organised enough to see my picks of the bunch!

    • Something smells like fish
      • For those of you who've never heard of Nanook, Thursday night's screening at the Film Archive is unmissable. Widely considered the first feature length documentary ever made (shot in 1922) it's an exceptional account of Inuit life on the ice.
