E Kare Collective at Māoriland Film Festival 2026. Attending MFF last month was a real milestone for our rōpu. And we felt so much warmth and manaaki during our time in Ōtaki. E mihi ana ki a koutou, te iwi ahi kā; Ngāti Raukawa ki te Tonga. The energy from kaimahi, whānau, and the wider township was unmatched. It was a real privilege to be in connection with global indigenous filmmakers. To conversate, and share cinema. We were so inspired by the whakaaro and mahi indigenous filmmakers are presenting across te ao. A beautifully diverse range of stories, risks being taken, and cinematic excellence being championed. A highlight during our week was viewing the feature documentary AKI by Darlene Naponse (@darlenenaponse). What a beautiful acknowledgement of te taiao, community, reo, and time. This film pushed the boundaries of cinematic convention in such a way that remained utterly authentic. We left the festival with a commitment to explore this wero in our own practice, and we thank you for sharing it with us. Till next time… Image by: @andy.snaps.nz #māoriland #mff2026 #takatāpui #maori #aotearoa
