Although the 35th Wellington Film Festival draws to a close this weekend, our festival surveillance continues. With Dunedin's leg currently underway, and Christchurch's just beginning (followed by the remainder of the country), The Festival Reader will remain active throughout August with ongoing features and reviews (including the Editors' annual post-festival wrap).

Latest Additions: SIMON SWEETMAN looks back on Week One of his festival, with considerable highs and lows; MELODY NIXON perspires at the slave-like conditions of China Blue; CATHERINE BISLEY descends into L’Enfer’s many versions of hell; + new capsule reviews for Men at Work, The Road to Guantánamo and 68 more in our Festival Form Guide.
