Seven Stages to Achieve Eternal Bliss
A small-town couple finds the perfect apartment in the big city, except there's one catch: the apartment is home to the ritualistic suicides of a deranged cult.
Tama Tū
Six Māori Battalion soldiers camped in Italian ruins wait for night to fall. In the silence, the bros-in-arms distract themselves with jokes. A tohu (sign) brings them back to reality, and they gather to say a karakia before returning to the fray. Director Taika Waititi describes the soldiers as young men with "a special bond, strengthened by their character, their culture and each other." Shot in the rubble of the old Wellington Hospital, Tama Tū won international acclaim. Invited to over 40 international festivals, its many awards included honourable mentions at Sundance and Berlin.
Madeinusa
Madeinusa is a girl who lives in an isolated village in the mountains of Peru. This strange place is characterized by its religious fervor, and seemingly odd custom: from Good Friday at three o’clock in the afternoon to Easter Sunday, the whole village can do whatever it feels like.
