NZ International Fraud Film Festival 2019

The Fraud Film Festival returns in 2019 on 13 & 14 November at ASB Waterfront Theatre to deliver two full days of films and documentaries about fraud and its prevention, each followed by a live expert discussion.

Day one of the Fraud Film Festival, on Wednesday 13 November, comprises a full day of films and panels, as well as the presentation of the 2019 Anti-Fraud Award.

Day two, on Thursday 14 November, comprises a morning session about scams, followed by two films - The Panama Papers & There are No Fakes.

Each documentary will be followed by a panel discussion session with industry experts to further explore the themes of the preceding film.

The Films:

The Panama Papers
NZ premiere of a documentary on the massive data leak and investigation of a global corruption scandal. The Panama Papers exposed vast international corruption and identified NZ as a desired destination for dodgy foreign trusts. Directed by Bill & Ted star Alex Winter and narrated by Elijah Wood. Panel discussion follows.

There Are No Fakes
Rated M - offensive language, references to drug use & rape
In this feature-length documentary, a painting - thought to be the work of an iconic Indigenous artist - leads the rock star who buys it into the tragic, brutal (and sometimes darkly comical) world of a Canadian art forgery ring. Followed by live panel discussion about art forgery.
