The New Zealand International Film Festival kicks off at the end of this month, with 105 local and international films on offer.

The full list was revealed last night but many had already been announced, including 16 that have come straight from Cannes.

The festival kicks off in Wellington on July 31, Auckland a week later and will then make its way through another eight cities over the course of the follow two months.

In the hot seat is Paolo Bertolin, he joined the Festival as artistic director earlier this year and has worked on many other festivals including Cannes Critics' Week and the Venice International Film Festival.
