NZIFF 2022
will now celebrate the city’s Opening Night Gala in
Christchurch’s majestic Isaac Theatre Royal on Friday 5
August, following openings in Auckland at The Civic on
Thursday 28 July and at The Embassy Theatre in Wellington on
Thursday 4 August. The Isaac Theatre Royal will host weekend
screenings across Saturday 6 and Sunday 7 August, with
Lumière Cinemas will screen festival films from 5-14
August. “We are delighted to confirm that the film
festival will be back at the stunning Isaac Theatre Royal
this year. We know that local audiences greatly enjoy the
experience of heading to the ITR during our Christchurch
season and it’s fantastic to have the on-going support
from not only our flagship venue, but also the wonderful
Lumière Cinemas, for 2022. There’s so much for
Cantabrians to look forward to when the film festival rolls
into town this winter!” said NZIFF’s General Manager
Sally Woodfield. “We are also pleased to announce
all our festival dates for the rest of our centres around
Aotearoa and we can’t wait to bring our celebration of
cinema to cities and towns around the country. Mark it in
your calendars, New Zealand!” NZIFF 2022 screenings at the Isaac
Theatre Royal are made possible with the support of NZIFF
