POSTPONED - NZ Mountain Film Festival 2021
Event description
We have postponed the screening on Saturday the 18th September. This is because of the 50 pax limit for gatherings during Delta Level 2.
We haven't made a new date yet, we'd like to wait and see what the rules will be around events and gatherings for Delta Level 1. We have until March next year to screen the films, however we would love to run the festival well before then. Fingers crossed we'll be screening soon! Until then, stay well!
