Third Culture Film Festival

The Third Culture Film Festival, originally founded in Hong Kong in 2016, is now returning to Tauranga for its second year!

As we prepare for our fourth annual event in 2025, we’re excited to continue building a vibrant hub for independent cinema in New Zealand.

Our mission remains clear: to celebrate and elevate independent filmmaking in Tauranga and beyond by showcasing outstanding films from around the world. With a strong focus on cultural connection and creative exchange, we’re committed to providing a platform for both local and international filmmakers to share their stories with a wide audience.

Join us for another year of cinematic exploration—where bold storytelling takes centre stage, and diverse voices from across the globe come together. Welcome to the Third Culture Film Festival, where creativity knows no borders.
