The Seed of the Sacred Fig was one of my movies of the year - seen at the NZIFF - an important film that must make a more general release. This is a great list by the way
Excellent list. A few minor corrections: NO OTHER LAND got a cinema release in Auckland a few weeks ago. RAP WORLD got one of its only cinematic outings in the world in Auckland (thanks to Tom Augustine) and is now on YouTube. (It was never releasable in a conventional sense due to music rights issues.) And THE KILLER (2024) is currently on Netflix in Australia, where I am atm. Not sure if it snuck on to Netflix in NZ or not.
(And saw RUMOURS over here. Freaking loved it. But I am a Maddin fan boy.)

Thanks Hamish!
Unfortunately for us here in Dunedin, because we only received 37 films from NZIFF this year I had even less opportunity to see most of these!

(Oh, and RED ROOMS played Terror-Fi 2023. James Partridge: ahead of the curve once again!)
