Dame Fiona on Film

Many threads weave through Going West's history and our connection to west Auckland and New Zealand's literary scene. Two of those threads wind together in the upcoming NZIFF. Filmmaker Joshua Prendeville spent much of his younger life in Laingholm, part of the heartland of Going West. His debut documentary The House Within, just premiered in Wellington, holds a delicate lens to the fascinating life and work of one of Aotearoa’s literary treasures, Dame Fiona Kidman.

Dame Fiona has joined us at past Going West festivals and is always a warm, insightful and generous speaker. We can't wait to see this very special portrait. Wellington screenings sold out, but Auckland tickets are now available. Don't miss out!
