Nov 16 : Movie – PRIME MINISTER
Jacinda Ardern’s story is a fascinating and humane portrait of leadership, achievement and struggles through the world’s turmoil. Unexpectedly becoming New Zealand’s opposition party leader at just 37, and two frenetic months later she was Prime Minister. Just before the final vote was in, she discovered she was pregnant. Featuring incredible access including home footage filmed by Clarke Gayford.
Sundance Film Festival 2025, “Audience Winner World Cinema Documentary.”
New York Times, “PRIME MINISTER reminds us, the role that the internet and sharply ideological news sources play in our lives shifted dramatically in just the years Ardern was in office.”
Waikato Times/ The Post, Graeme Tuckett 4/5 Stars, “Close-up view of extraordinary times”.

Going behind the scenes of her administration and her private life, PRIME MINISTER follows Jacinda for seven years as she is catapulted to the top of New Zealand politics, becomes a feminist political icon, resigns suddenly from office and continues to champion the fight against isolationism, fear, and the distortion of truth. Intimate home footage shot by her husband and audio interviews that Jacinda did while in office give us unparalleled access. Along with in-depth contemporaneous interviews, these form the emotional backbone of the story, giving viewers an unfiltered window into her years in power.

Nov 16: Movie- GRACE: A PRAYER FOR PEACE
Waikato Times/ The Post, Graeme Tuckett, “It seems to me that Grace: A Prayer For Peace has been made as a shared endeavour by two artists who are each producing some of the best work of their careers. White can convey endlessly revisitable ideas with a few perfectly placed lines, and I reckon we could say something similar about what Preston – and her editors, Lala Rolls and Paul Sutorius – have achieved here. This is an absorbing, engrossing, moving and often very funny piece of work. Make sure you see it on the biggest screen you can.“.

GRACE: A Prayer for Peace is a visual poem that invites reflection on creativity and the human condition. Neither an artist profile nor a biopic, GRACE was devised by filmmaker Dame Gaylene Preston during rewarding conversations with the artist.
GRACE aims to not only illuminate and explore the visual art of Dame Robin White (Ngāti Awa), but to become its own artefact – a piece of collaborative art that frames a deeper engagement with the principles and poetics of Robin White’s work.
DIRECTOR and WRITER: Gaylene Preston
PRODUCERS: Susana Lei’ataua, Danny Bultitude, Catherine Madigan
STARRING: Dame Robin White
