This week there is a limit of 4 seats per family at the evening show. This is to ensure that everyone gets a chance to have family attend the evening performance which will be something special with table service, food and drinks included. Think premiere! The matinee’s do not have a limit to the number of tickets that can be purchased so you can purchase these in bulk.
From Friday, ticket sales will open up for everyone to purchase whichever tickets are available.
Our tamariki have worked really hard on this work and are excited to share it with you.
Frequently asked questions
If I book tickets for my children during the day, do I pick them up from school?
Yes, the film festival is different from the Production last year. All tamariki will be at school for a normal school day. If you would like to take your child to the film festival during the day, everyone attending will need a ticket. Tamariki should be signed out of the office as per usual process and taken to the event.
How long is each session?
Each session is about an hour and a half with an intermission
Do I return my children back to school after the morning session?
This is a decision for you to make. If you do, please sign them back in through the office.
Which films will be shown?
All teams have up to 15 minutes of film time. These are a combination of shorts and longer pieces. Films from each team will be spread throughout the entire session. Teams will know and be able to share with you which films they are putting through.
Why are the prices for the matinee and the evening showings different?
The matinee ticket is for entry only. Popcorn, candy floss, drinks and lollies can be purchased on entry. Seating is in rows and all tickets (adults and children) are $5.
The evening event is a more formal event. This is a chance to dress up for a premiere! There is table seating and we will serve you snacks, a special drink and an ice cream, all included in the ticket price. You will also be able to purchase popcorn and candy floss should you wish. All tickets are $20, including children.
All tickets cover the cost of the venue, furniture and tech hire.
What does the money raised go towards?
Most of the entry fee goes towards running the event. If any extra money is raised, we will put it towards the mindfulness area.
How are tamariki involved in the event?
All tamariki are involved in some way. They are script writers, actors, producers, directors and film techs. They are also marketers, ticket designers, seating hosts, servers and cooks. We love the way that everyone is so enthusiastically involved!
