With every NZIFF I tend to go down the rabbit hole with my selections, and this year is no different! Two strange journeys through space thanks to High Life and Aniara, an eagerly awaited return from Chris Morris (Four Lions) with The Day Shall Come, and killer couture thanks to In Fabric and Deerskin... come and walk on the weird and wonderful side with my NZIFF 2019 picks. — Lynnaire MacDonald, Communications Assistant

High Life
A forbidding spaceship carrying death row inmates hurtles towards oblivion in Claire Denis’s long-awaited, intensely hypnotic sci-fi opus.
Judy & Punch
Punch & Judy’s traditional puppet theatre receives an offbeat and subversive twist in this deliciously dark tale of revenge starring Mia Wasikowska.
