He Kura Ika Waitī - The Treasured Fish of the Freshwaters

In celebration of World Fish Migration Day, join us for a free community screening of the documentary He Kura Ika Waitī - The Treasured Fish of the Freshwaters, produced locally by Keelan Walker (Loud Noise Media).

He Kura Ika Waitī takes you on a journey into the rivers, streams, and wetlands of the Tasman District, following the remarkable lives of our native freshwater fish. Through breathtaking aerial, above-water, and underwater footage, the film reveals the beauty of our local waterways. It highlights the challenges fish face as they migrate along rivers and between freshwater and the sea and shows how simple changes can make a big difference for nature.

Whether you’re a river walker, a whānau looking for a relaxed Sunday outing, or just curious about what lives in our waterways, this film is for you.

Light refreshments will be offered after the film.

Spaces are limited, bookings are essential. Free tickets available on the State Cinema Motueka website.

Attendees are invited to go spotlighting for native fish in a nearby stream after the film. Please email jude@mountainstosea.org.nz to register for spotlighting.
