(SPOT.ph) A cinematic and cultural feast showcasing the best full-length and short films from New Zealand will run from February 23 to 28 at the Shang Cineplex in Shangri-La Plaza, Mandaluyong City.

 

Take a peek into New Zealand’s culture through their films: Eagle vs. Shark tells the tale of two misfits who come together to overcome their shortcomings and discover the inner beauty. In My Father’s Den narrates the journey of a war photographer who returns to his New Zealand hometown to face his haunting past.

 

The Topp Twins: Untouchable Girls chronicles the lives of the world’s only comedic, country-singing, dancing, and yodeling twin sisters. In Sione’s Wedding, four immature guys attempt to change their ways to find their perfect match.

 

A young woman is denied her rightful place as a tribal chief in Whale Rider, while a wedding ceremony is in peril because of a mother’s bargain-hunting obsession in Second-Hand Wedding.

 

Boy shows a young boy who idolizes Michael Jackson and his absent father. No. 2 narrates the tale of Nanna Maria, an old woman who demands that her grandchildren give her a lavish feast on the day she’s expected to name her successor.

 

The lineup of short films include: Coffee and Allah, a story of a young Muslim woman who overcomes relocation by connecting with people through her faith, love for coffee, and badminton; Noise Control, an animated feature about a rooster who pays the price for keeping his neighbors awake; Tama Tu, which shows soldiers trying to distract themselves from the reminders of war surrounding them; and Take 3 features three Asian actresses who find themselves playing uncomfortable and stereotypical Asian roles.
