About

nzapff started in 2013

Building an international film industry platform for filmmakers in the Asia Pacific region to show their films to New Zealand audiences is the purpose of the New Zealand Asia Pacific Film Festival.

New Zealand is a multi-culture society, has an open culture to meet the world, the New Zealand film industry is a good example, it embraces filmmakers from all over the world. We would like to build a bridge for the filmmaking industry between New Zealand and the Asia Pacific countries.
