Hunt for the Wilder People, GFT, 16 – 22 September, 2016.

Sam Neill stars in this off-beat, rousing adventure film.
Friday 16 – Thursday 22 September
Running time: 1h41m
Raised on hip-hop and in and out of foster homes, rebellious city kid Ricky (newcomer Julian Dennison) gets a fresh start in the New Zealand countryside. When a tragedy strikes that threatens to ship Ricky to another home he goes on the run with his gruff guardian, Hec (Sam Neill), as the clueless authorities lead a national manhunt. Taika Waititi’s follow up to What We Do In The Shadows (screening Fri 9 Sep (23.30)), is a funny and rousing adventure movie, with brilliant comedic chemistry between Dennison and Neill. Specially commissioned programme notes will be available.
Director Taika Waititi Cast Sam Neill, Julian Dennison, Rima Te Wiata
