Thanks to all of those who support our Festival by becoming a Friend, Patron, Patron Plus, Benefactor or a Sponsor. We are incredibly appreciative of their support. Our speaker invitations, film competition and core programme are only made possible by the grants and sponsorship we receive, and the generous contribution from our Friends.
All Patrons, Patron Plus and Benefactors will be able to watch the shows free from their homes through an online link (within NZ and Australia only).
Our Friends, Patrons and Benefactors allow us to plan and prepare the festival as well as keep ticket prices at a level whereby all members of our community can afford to attend. It’s vital to the ongoing success of the festival.
