The Danish Woman – 19 February

Soon, the apartment building becomes a battlefield for a better world. With her deep-rooted sense of justice, she sees her neighbours’ problems and feels compelled to help – whether they want her help or not. And in her world, the end justifies the means. Always.

I Am Raquel Welch – 10 February
Documentary (2025). I Am Raquel Welch is a feature documentary that celebrates the life of a trailblazing actress and single mother who not only redefined the world’s idea of a Hollywood ‘sex symbol’ but also led the way for modern-day action heroines.
This Tastes Funny – 10 February
Reality series. In This Tastes Funny, American comedian Iliza Shlesinger and her chef husband Noah Galuten are travelling the length of New Zealand – one stop before the middle of nowhere.
Confined to a small motorhome and with only each other for company, they are here to discover the sights, tastes and – weirdly – smells that this country has to offer. All in preparation for Iliza’s first New Zealand comedy show, because – if you’re going to make fun of an entire country, you must first understand every gritty detail.
Rise of the Raven – 12 February
Series. This 10-episode miniseries set in the 15th century is based on the bestselling Hungarian novels by Mór Bán. The story of Janos Hunyadi (Gellért L Kádár) is the epic tale of a modest hero who against all odds, vanquished the much larger Ottoman army and halted its drive to conquer the Vatican and overrun Western Europe. In so doing, Hunyadi not only shaped the history of Hungary, but all of Europe.
With a visually-striking contemporary approach, the series chronicles Hunyadi’s lifelong struggle against the ever-expanding Ottoman Empire as well as his enemies at home. It all culminates in Hunyadi’s climactic victory against seemingly insurmountable odds when he defeats the invading Ottoman army at the siege of Nandorfehervar (contemporary Belgrade), a triumph that forever altered the fate of Europe.
The series is produced by Robert Lantos and directed by Academy Award nominated director Robert Dornhelm, with Orsi Nagypál, Attila Szász and showrunner Balázs Lengyel.
Brassic Season 7 – 12 February
Series. After seven hilarious seasons, Joseph Gilgun’s rowdy gang gets an unmissable send-off, as Vinnie and the crew face their biggest challenge yet. When a new gang muscles in on his turf, Vinnie (Joseph Gilgun) reunites the crew, takes on a classic Bishops job, and reminds Hawley who’s boss.
Mrs Bishop is getting married, and nothing will get in the way of her perfect day – except for Mr Bishop. Vinnie is trying to lay low, until a new gang headed up by Farmer Jim’s estranged daughter starts stepping on his toes. Vinnie reunites the crew to deal with The Bishops and prove who really runs Hawley.
