Show Me Shorts is Aotearoa New Zealand’s leading international short film festival that includes more than 100 physical screenings in 40 cinema venues across New Zealand each October. Our mission is to connect Aotearoa New Zealand audiences with short films and champion Aotearoa New Zealand short filmmakers!

Join us for two nights of THE SAMPLER, a highlight of short films from the festival collected in a tasty package. Inspiring and thoughtful stories include a boxing nun, an AI robot, a dedicated teacher and a Palestinian man trying to return home. Much loved stars Hugh Bonneville, Marlon Williams, Thomas Sainsbury and Alison Bruce make an appearance. We have some fun with an out-of-his-depth dad at a twirling competition and a maniacal ice-cream seller on the beach.
