Experience a spectacular evening dedicated to grassroots filmmaking from the Queenstown Lakes District and beyond! Our showcase features an eclectic mix of sketches, documentaries, music videos, animations, and more.

Sunday 13 October, 7.15pm - 10pm

It’s a night full of creativity and passion for all film enthusiasts. Join us to celebrate and support local talent in a fun and engaging setting!

Founded by Irish film enthusiast Brendan O'Donnell, Little Cinema is a platform dedicated to celebrating and supporting filmmakers of all levels. This showcase offers an exciting opportunity for creators from Central Otago and beyond to present their work to a warm, encouraging audience in a relaxed setting.

‍We invite submissions of all kinds—films, documentaries, music videos, animations, and comedy sketches—as long as they are under 15 minutes and the filmmaker introduces their piece on stage. We are particularly enthusiastic about welcoming submissions from under-represented voices in the screen sector.

‍A heartfelt thanks to our sponsors, Film Queenstown Lakes and Film Otago Southland, for their generous support.

‍Come join us for a night of diverse and captivating short films!
