On Friday 16 August, NZIFF screened the raucous tribute to foot-fetishist Doug George, Naughty Little Peeptoe, and Come With Us, the first-ever film by iconoclastic New Zealand filmmaker, Garth Maxwell as a part of the Aotearoa Film Focus Weekend 2024.
After these screenings, we had the Late Night Lounge in the ASB Waterfront Theatre auditorium. Queer erotic fiction writer Samuel Te Kani performed an excerpt in response to Naughty Little Peeptoe, before hosting an informal discussion with Maxwell around his body of work, and his approach to art and cinema.
