Directed by Taika Waititi, the film focuses on six Maori Battalion soldiers in WWII. The film has already garnered praise at several other film festivals, winning special jury prizes at the 2005 Aspen Shortsfest and at the 2005 Berlin Film Festival.

Also eligible for Oscar consideration after winning the Yoram Gross Award for Best Animation at Flickerfest is the UK short, City Paradise, written and directed by Gaelle Denis.
