Ngā mihi o te tau hou!

Komiti Pasifika and PPTA in partnership with Madman Entertainment are excited to invite our members to a FREE preview screening of the much-anticipated film, Tinā.

Tinā (the Samoan word for mother) is written and directed by Miki Magasiva. Tinā stars Anapela Polataivao as Mareta Percival, a Samoan teacher who struggles to come to terms with the death of her daughter in the Christchurch earthquakes. Mareta reluctantly takes on a role as a substitute teacher at a private school. She is surprised to find children in desperate need of guidance, inspiration, and love and inspires her students to perform at a big choral competition.

Tinā was chosen to open the 2024 Hawai’i International Film Festival and anyone who has seen the trailer knows that this will be a feel-good hit here in Aotearoa New Zealand, and is likely to be taught in classrooms for at least the next decade!

There are three screenings around the country - in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland, Te Awa Kairangi Lower Hutt, and Ōtautahi Christchurch. You are on the event page for Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland.

Tickets are free for PPTA members and their guests (limit 3 tickets per person). Access code has been shared in PPTA messages - email socials@ppta.org.nz if you need to request a booking code. Get in quick, tickets are limited and won’t sit around long.
