SMS 2024 - Sampler Program
NZ and International short films
105 mins, Rated M - (strong language and content that may offend.)
Enjoy the highlights from this year’s Show Me Shorts (SMS) Film Festival. It's a selection of the most vibrant, fun and imaginative short films from NZ and around the world.
Equal parts moving and silly, the stars include Joanna Lumley and Ben Whishaw, alongside local actors who shine.
SMS is all about the connections between us. You'll see heartfelt stories of homelessness, demolition derbies, the horrors of camping, dealing with death... and meeting your partner's weird family for the first time!
WFS is proud to be part of the 2024 Whangarei Fringe Festival.
Showing at Forum North, 7 Rust Ave Whangarei on Thursday 17th October with sessions at 6pm and 8pm

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
