Mana Moana 2025 is returning with the rise of Puanga on the 7th of June every weekend through to Matariki weekend on the 22nd of June at Whairepo Lagoon in Te Whanganui a Tara.
The films this year have been curated by Israel Randell (Rarotonga, Tainui, Ngāti Kahungunu) and are guided by the wise words of Moana Jackson’s: ‘In time, like te ao marama emerging out of te pō, mourning gives way to dreaming.’
