Fungi Film Fest Whangārei (FFFWh2)

Fungi Film Fest Whangārei (FFFWh) is our very own screening of the world’s only film festival dedicated to the beauty, otherworldliness, and human influences of mushrooms, lichens, and micro fungi. Please join us for our second annual screening event at ONEONESIX!

Each year brings a different mix of films, with this year’s program hosting 14 short films from 8 countries at about 125 minutes of run time. Our screening will also include a bonus screening of a local submission which didn’t quite make the cut for the official film set. The films are all ages, but the recommended age for the films is 10 to 100.

Our delightful intermission will offer you tasty mushroom treats and the opportunity to meet other fungus fans!

This year, we’re also preceding the ticketed screening event with an all ages interactive forest arts event at the same location, 1-4pm. This portion is supported by Creative Communities and is offered free to the community with no ticket necessary, and will include creative activities such as seed bombs, paper snails, stop motion film experimentation, coloring in, and moldable plastic sculpting. All ages welcome, humans aged 6 to adult will likely get the most out of it.
