ABOUT THE FESTIVAL
The inaugural ANZ Film Festival was held at Finsbury Park Picturehouse on Sunday 2 February 2025 (find out more about that festival here).
We returned to the Finsbury Park Picturehouse on Saturday 30th January and Sunday 1st February 2026 (more about the 2026 edition
here).
The festival has been lovingly curated by a group of London Australian Film Society & FANZA members. It is the first festival in London to celebrate filmmakers from both Australia and New Zealand.
Each year the festival runs the weekend between Australia Day (26 January) and Waitangi Day (6 February).
The ANZ festival is run entirely by volunteers; any profits are reinvested into the next festival.
If you would like to help the society and festival with some much-needed funds, please visit our donation page
No matter how small or large, each donation helps us keep Australian and New Zealand films on London screens!
