The country's biggest annual celebration of cinema, the New Zealand International Film Festival, will be screening the acclaimed music documentary Marley.
The 2012 festival, which starts in Auckland on July 19 and in Wellington a week later, won't have its final programme finalised until next month.
But organisers say Marley,
which debuted at the Berlin Film Festival earlier this year, is confirmed to screen.
So too are comedy Your Sister's Sister which is directed by Humpday director Lynn Shelton and starring Emily Blunt, and Crazy Horse by documentary veteran Frederick Wiseman who goes behind the scenes of the legendary Parisian cabaret club of the title.
But given the reggae legend's enduring place and influence (especially in New Zealand) Marley is sure to attract big numbers.
