Terror-Fi, New Zealand's only genre film-fest is back for its eighth year, bringing sci-fi, horror, and thriller films from across the world to our local silver screens.

The programme features two world premieres, plus a 25th anniversary screening of cult New Zealand favourite, Scarfies.

James Partridge, the founder and director of Terror-Fi, joins Emile Donovan to dish on their favourite genre films and the possibilities for more genre films made in New Zealand.
