Caterpillar Screening
Presented by: Film Bay of Plenty
Join Film Bay of Plenty for special Tauranga WIFT NZ (Women in Film and Television) screening of Caterpillar (2026), the debut feature from Chelsie Preston Crayford — bubbles on arrival and a Q&A to follow.
Set in an early-2000s Wellington household, Caterpillar follows three generations of women navigating love, ambition and change. Single mother Maxine (Marta Dusseldorp) is chasing her filmmaking dreams on a shoestring. Teenage daughter Cassie (Anaïs Shand) is figuring out who she is. And grandmother Huia (Lisa Harrow) quietly faces a dementia diagnosis, retreating into a tender fascination with monarch butterflies as her mind begins to shift.
Stay after for a Q&A with Georgina Conder (Producer) and Lisa Harrow, (Lead Actor) moderated by Pāpāmoa writer Emma Power!
