The NZ Film Festival Trust

3 pm 25/7/2019: Insufficient resources to meet demands via Internet booking or phone bookings (with phone-back system a dismal failure). Your website won't allow bookings, the number you gave online to book tickets prior to 26/7 IS A DEAD LINE, the Embassy Theatre as per your NZIFF booklet to book over the PHONE was also a DEAD END (no one has rung back), so it was impossible to book via the Net / phone. The very first film (the only one that really mattered to us) that we attempted to book had SOLD OUT ON ALL DAYS EXCEPT ONE and even this last venue had "limited seats" left (as per your website's notice). So we made a 30 km dash to the Embassy only to discover that there were NO seats left whatsoever. What a shambles & a huge disappointment! 10/8/2019: We note that one week into the IFF you put on extra shows but not for "Making Waves" (educational doco on audio) yet this sold out long before the IFF began. There was a huge demand for MW because of the interest from the growing, creative industry-community so it was a real shame you did not put on extra screenings. NZIFF needs better management and the ability to ring up box office profits without sacrificing the community's educational interests.
