My Brother's Band
STARTING 18 JUNE
Directed by Emmanuel Courcol
The resounding audience favourite of the 2025 French Film Festival Aotearoa, writer/director Emmanuel Courcol's wildly entertaining new film MY BROTHER'S BAND follows two siblings separated by fate and reunited by music. Diagnosed with leukaemia, a successful orchestra conductor learns that he is adopted, and his younger brother is in a village marching band. The conductor decides to help them win a regional contest.
Thibaut (the exceptional Benjamin Lavernhe, Delicious, C’est la vie!) is an internationally renowned orchestra conductor who travels the world. When a health crisis and subsequent DNA test inadvertently reveals that he was adopted as an infant, Thibaut discovers the existence of a younger brother, Jimmy (rising star Pierre Lottin), who lives in more modest circumstances; he works in a school cafeteria, cares for his mother and plays the trombone in a community brass band. The pair seem to have little else in common other than a love of performance, but sensing his sibling’s talent, Thibaut decides to remedy the injustice of fate and help nurture his brother’s gifts.
An eruptive crowd-pleaser wherever it has screened (notably receiving the highest audience score in the 51-year history of the San Sebastian Film Festival), MY BROTHER’S BAND is a rousing, feel-great trip to the cinema, expertly striking the perfect harmony between laughter and tears to celebrate family, community and the beauty and hope of collective spirit.

Words of War
STARTING 28 MAY
Directed by James Strong
From James Strong, director of the acclaimed mini-series Mr Bates vs The Post Office, Words of War tells the powerful true story of world-renowned journalist and human rights activist Anna Politkovskaya.
Maxine Peake expertly portrays Politkovskaya’s brave crusade, putting her life in jeopardy by fighting to be an independent voice of truth for the Russian people. She refused to give up reporting on the war in Chechnya despite numerous acts of intimidation and violence, including being poisoned.
Sparring with Peake on the silver screen is Jason Isaacs, in the role of Politkovskaya’s husband Sasha - a TV journalist who can barely hide his jealousy of his wife’s success. Irish screen legend Ciarán Hinds also joins the cast as Dmitry Muratov, Anna’s editor of the independent paper Novaya Gazeta.
Politkovskaya’s legacy lives on, and her story serves as a reminder of the importance of protecting the right to report the news without fear of death or reprisal.

No Tears on the Field
STARTING 21 MAY
Directed by Lisa Burd
Directed by award-winning filmmaker Lisa Burd (The Pinkies Are Back), NO TEARS ON THE FIELD is an inspiring story of family, community and sisterhood set against the backdrop of a season of grassroots club rugby in Taranaki.

“Powerful, inspiring, and funny.” - The Topp Twins
“The heartwarming hit of the year” - Francesca Rudkin
