TNZIFF06 Warm Down
Major South Island festivals for Dunedin and Christchurch have now finished; elsewhere, the roadshow moves onwards, currently in Hamilton and Palmerston North, with other smaller centres to follow. Meanwhile, our own festival sortie winds down, due to conclude at the end of the month. Post-festival reviews will publish over the next seven days, before we sign off for good until next year.
