The first film is Jason Stutter‘s crime comedy, Predicament, while the second is Simone Horrocks‘ début feature After the Waterfall. Both the films will screen as part of the festival‘s film panorama programme. 

The two films would join a line-up of top films from around the world, including this year‘s Academy Award winners, New Zealand Film Commission chief executive Graeme Mason said.

The festival would be held from 23 to 28 April.
