Join us for a special Q&A screening of Tinā, the acclaimed New Zealand-Samoan film celebrating identity, culture and the healing power of music. The screening will be followed by a live Q&A with director Miki Magasiva, cast member Beulah Koale, producer Dan Higgins, and moderated by Co-Writer and Director of Moana 2, Dana Ledoux Miller.

Now among the highest-grossing New Zealand films of all time, Tinā tells the deeply moving story of Samoan teacher Mareta Percival. Struggling after the death of her daughter in the Christchurch earthquakes, Mareta reluctantly takes on a role as a substitute teacher at an elite private school and is surprised to find its students in desperate need of guidance, inspiration and love.
Make sure not this miss this celebratory event. Tickets are limited.
Tinā premiered at the Hawaii International Film Festival, going on to garner multiple accolades including the Best Narrative Feature Award at the 2025 Palm Springs International Film Festival and the Golden Space Needle Award at the Seattle International Film Festival.
