Classy Aucklanders may already know of this, but in case you don’t, George FM, Drambuie, The NZ Film Commission and Chapel Bar & Bistro have been putting on the Ponsonby Short Film Festival Spring 2013. Held every Tuesday in October, 7.30-8.30pm, the programme is hosted by actor Owen Black (TV’s Street Legal) and showcases a selection of four to five NZ short films every week. Complimentary popcorn and Drambuie cocktails are available, which is always a bonus.
Here’s the line-up for the remaining weeks, which includes Taika Waititi’s Oscar-nominated Two Cars One Night and the film-fest-trotting, multi-award-winning Six Dollar Fifty Man from Shopping directors Mark Albiston and Louis Sutherland:
