      Eight short films by a new generation of filmmakers developed through the Nga Pakiaka Incubator Programme. Devised during the 1st COVID-19 lockdown in 2020, He Waiora traverses a range of topics close to the hearts of rangatahi and their whanau in Aotearoa today.

      Memorial Hall

      Rangatahi aged 12 - 24 are invited to participate in a special workshop held by Ngā Pakiaka as part of the Maoriland Rangatahi Film Festival. Participants will view and respond to films made for the Reciprocity Project.
