Snow in Paradise from Nikki Si'ulepa: a snapshot of life on a remote, picturesque island in the South Pacific through the eyes of a young Polynesian girl.

Small treasures is exactly what New Zealand short films are, treasures from the heart. There is a skill in telling a story in a short amount of time, yet it’s a challenge that filmmakers seem to enjoy. Short, sweet and to the point. Iti Pounamu showcases short films by New Zealand writers. ‘Shorts’ are a creative platform as the typical first stage for filmmakers.
