Stray
Rating to be confirmed
6/10 @ 6pm – Introduction and Q&A session with Director Dustin Feneley. Bookings Recommended.
Receiving a standing ovation at the Moscow International Film Festival, as well as lead actor Kieran Charnock winning the award for Best Actor, STRAY is an “INDELIBLY BEAUTIFUL, HUMAN AND NEAR-PERFECT FILM” (Stuff). STRAY follows two damaged strangers who fall into a complex intimate relationship against the backdrop of the breathtaking Southern Alps.
One of the most strikingly photographed New Zealand films in recent memory, STRAY is the statement-making feature debut of writer/director Dustin Feneley. Set in the wintry south, this bracingly spare character drama frames Aotearoa’s oft-filmed landscapes in a clear and startling new light.
After sell-out screenings at NZIFF in Auckland and Wellington, director Dustin Feneley will tour and present the film to South & North Island audiences as a part of our special Q&A screenings.
