Is lockdown starting to drag a touch? With Auckland in level 4, and the rest of the country at 3, most of us are definitely starting to feel it.
Luckily, we've been here before, and festival organisers and events managers are now perfectly au fait with taking their incredible real-life
events and translating them to an online world.
This week there are two fantastic local programmes that were meant to be happening around New Zealand, but which you can still attend, from the familiarity of your sofa.
The Doc Edge festival has been screening cutting-edge documentaries in theatres for 16 years. Last year, the festival switched it up to take the entire festival online, allowing New Zealanders all around the country access to the full festival for the first time. This year is no different, with a virtual programme of around 50 documentaries, a mix of free and paid-for content, and local and international stories. Each has a trailer to watch, so you know what you're in for.
