Māoriland Mini Film Festival
 

Bunjil Place is proud to partner with the Māoriland Film Festival as part of Asia TOPA, to present a weekend of Pasifika live performance and Indigenous films from across the Southern Hemisphere from 1 to 2 March 2025.

This outdoor Pasifika cinematic experience will open on Saturday 1 March with a live performance from Māori singer-songwriter Breanne Peters, followed by a screening of the feature film Uproar, featuring Julian Dennison (Hunt for the Wilderpeople, Deadpool 2) as 17-year-old Josh, who is forced off the fence he has actively sat on his entire life, to find his voice protesting the arrival of the South African Springboks team in 1981 – and to stand up for himself, his whanau (family) and his future. 

On Sunday 2nd March, the festival will welcome Tongan singer-songwriter Tyra Lewis for a performance at 3:00pm followed by the screening of the Māoriland Short Film program at 4:00pm.

    Hamlet | Sh!tfaced Shakespeare
    This is not your dear old Grandmother’s Hamlet, it is your drunk Uncle’s, who remembers every Monty Python episode by heart.
  • Dancing at Lughnasa | New Theatre
    Dancing at Lughnasa | New Theatre
    A gifted embroider of words, Friel combines soft lyricism and hard meaning in his play, a tragical comical historical pastoral on a spree and spoiling for a spirited spar.
  • Retrograde | Melbourne Theatre Company
    Retrograde | Melbourne Theatre Company
    The script is based on a true story, although this dramatisation can feel somewhat contrived, with important assertions not interrogated, and credibility stretched as a result.
  • The Glass Menagerie | Melbourne Theatre Company
    This Glass Menagerie is top shelf, and while blessed with an extraordinary cast and the highest of production values, it will not meet with everyone’s measure of how this play should be staged.
  • The First Murder | Pinchgut Opera
    The First Murder | Pinchgut Opera
    In the care of Pinchgut Opera’s director, Erin Helyard, this music, formulaic as it indeed is in some respects, sprang off the page into an experience rich in emotions.
