Come early! Doors and DJ from 6:30pm.

Join us for an exclusive 4D screening of The Weed Eaters before it opens in cinemas! NZICF presents a sensory-overloading film experience as cast and crew fill The Hollywood with the sounds, smells and screams of this wickedly deadpan new horror-comedy feature.

The Weed Eaters follows four millennial slackers on a secluded New Year’s getaway, who stumble across their reclusive host's long-forgotten stash of ancient cannabis. A sudden swerve into accidental cannibalism puts their friendships, survival skills and dietary preferences to the test.

Created by NZICF alumni Alice May Connolly and Finnius Teppett (Alice May Connolly’s Box, 2025) and fellow filmmakers Annabel Kean and Callum Devlin, the film’s cast includes NZICF 2026 comedians David Correos (Touching My Active Mind) and Rhiannon McCall (Nosferatu Looking for Love).

“We always had a sneaking suspicion movies could be funny… now we finally have proof.” — Alice May Connolly and Finnius Teppett.

See The Weed Eaters at the Comedy Fest before it opens New Zealand-wide on April 30.
