Re-edited from the earlier Māori TV series, Lala Rolls' feature-length film follows a Tahitian high priest and navigator travelling across the pacific aboard Captain James Cook’s HMS Endeavour.

After a tragedy, a young trans activist returns to the hometown he fled years ago to rediscover himself in this Aotearoa dramatic feature from director Max Currie (Everything We Loved) and writer Cole Meyers.

Tanea Heke (Waru), Rachel House (Hunt for the Wilderpeople) and Briar Grace-Smith (The Strength of Water) lead this time-transcending Māori drama based on Patricia Grace's novel about three cousins, separated by circumstance, and their long journey to find each other.

Cliff Curtis (Whale Rider) leads this true Kiwi story as Genesis Potini, the speed-chess prodigy from New Zealand. Battling severe bipolar disorder, Poutini finds purpose in coaching a local chess club. Co-stars James Rolleston (Boy) as his nephew Mana.
