A Little Something Extra
STARTING 16 OCTOBER
Directed by Artus
Following a jewel heist, two criminals, Lucien (Clovis Cornillac) and Paulo (Artus), are on the run when opportunity strikes – they are mistakenly escorted onto a bus going to a summer camp for young adults with disabilities. To keep a low profile, Paulo assumes the role of an intellectually disabled camper with Lucien assuming the role of his caregiver. His fellow campmates see through his act immediately but are more than happy to go along with the ruse. Soon our two loveable crims warm to their situation and start to learn that there’s more to life than a quick score.
A massive box office hit in France, A Little Something Extra became the top ticket seller of the decade and one of the highest grossing French films of all time. This cheerful, feel-good comedy is filled with almost non-stop gags, and the casting of non-professional actors from the disabled community gives this big-hearted film its emotional core.
“A Little Something Extra_ has stormed the French box office. It’s not only [2024’s] biggest hit so far, but the highest grossing French movie since the pandemic.”

Holy Cow
STARTING 2 OCTOBER
Part of the 2025 Aotearoa French Film Festival
Directed by Louise Courvoisier
Winner of the Cannes Youth Prize, Holy Cow is an engaging ode to community, resilience, love... and cheese! Set in France’s picturesque Jura region, renowned for its Comté cheese, the film follows the carefree 18-year-old Totone. Accustomed to his teenage life of drinking and dancing, Totone suddenly finds himself the sole carer for his 7-year-old sister Claire (Luna Garret) after a devastating tragedy.
Struggling to make ends meet, Totone hatches a plan to follow in his family’s cheesemaking footsteps, in the hope of winning a €30,000 Comté cheese prize. The only problem is, Totone knows nothing about making cheese... This heartfelt coming-of-age debut from Louise Courvoisier recently earned her the Best First Film César Award. The young cast (including Best Female Revelation César winner Maïwene Barthelemy) deliver touching performances that bring a raw authenticity to the film.
Winner of 2 César Awards!

Prime Minister
STARTING 25 SEPTEMBER
Directed by Michelle Walshe & Lindsay Utz
Rt Hon Dame Jacinda Ardern, New Zealand's 40th Prime Minister, led her nation through unprecedented challenges, implemented bold policies, and became the second leader in history to give birth in office, all while championing an inclusive and empathetic leadership style that changed global expectations of what a leader can be.
At just 37, Ardern became the youngest Prime Minister in her country in over 150 years, and only the second world leader to give birth while in office. This documentary captures the defining moments of her leadership, from her compassionate response to the Christchurch mosque attacks to her swift, though controversial, COVID-19 strategy. Directors Michelle Walshe and Lindsay Utz perfectly combine public moments, news coverage, home videos filmed by Ardern’s partner, Clarke Gayford, unheard audio from her time in office, and reflections from the Jacinda of today. A rare glimpse of a leader balancing empathy with authority, this is an up-close and personal exploration of leadership in a divided, complex world.

Grace: A Prayer for Peace
STARTING 24 SEPTEMBER
Directed by Dame Gaylene Preston
GRACE A Prayer for Peace brings together filmmaker Dame Gaylene Preston and artist Dame Robin White (Ngāti Awa) — in an extraordinary collaboration. What begins as conversation evolves into a cinematic path across Aotearoa, Kiribati, and Japan, drawing rich connections between people, place, and art. This is not a biopic, but a creative exchange — anchored in Robin White’s practice and worldview, it becomes a deeply felt exploration of how we live, what we value, and what we choose to protect.
Through White’s art, the voices of her collaborators across the Pacific, and Preston’s astute and considered lens, the film reckons with legacies of environmental destruction, displacement, and injustice. Yet GRACE never loses sight of beauty, humour, and the enduring search for peace. Strong, tender, and quietly transformative, it offers both a warning and a space for contemplation — an invitation to see more clearly, feel more deeply, and respond with humanity.
"GRACE A Prayer for Peace is a portrait of one of Aotearoa’s greatest living artists by one of our greatest documentary filmmakers. You should expect something special, and that’s what you get." — NZIFF Whānau Mārama
