Organizers of the New Zealand International Film Festival have stated that the event, running July 24 – August 2, will move online due to the ongoing pandemic. The country has been one of the most successful combating the virus, and has begun a gradual exit from its lockdown, but restrictions will remain in place for some time yet. As a result, the fest said it was unable to present its 2020 edition as originally planned. The event will showcase a program of world and New Zealand premieres for audiences at home, it said, and is upgrading its existing VOD platform to cater to demand. The full program will be unveiled on June 22.
