Event
In celebration of the Matariki season and Matariki Festival 2021, join us at Corban Estate Arts Centre from 7.30pm on Thu 8 and Fri 9 July to embark upon the world of the Wairoa Māori Film Festival and experience Te Ao Mai Nga Whatu Māori - the world through a Māori lens.
The films presented at Kia Ora Shorts echo tikanga Māori values such as whanaungatanga (connection), manaakitanga (compassion), hauora (wellbeing), and kotahitanga (unity). A diverse range of short films featuring stories from all over Aotearoa, each story takes you through a rich and soulful journey that introduces a nuanced connection with the world we all share.
The Thursday session is followed by a Q&A with some of the film directors and crew. There will be light refreshments available for purchase on the night.
