‘PleasureDora’ PÖFFs Off

PleasureDora, directed and edited by Mark Prebble (DEGANZ), is continuing its successful international festival run. In November, the sci-fi short screened at PÖFF Shorts in Talin, Estonia.

It was aptly selected for the Night Cinema programme, showcasing a range of films where relationships are complex and isolation is crippling, but that every once in a while, we can come together to be better people. PleasureDora fit right with its focus on morality, second chances, and life on the scrap heap when a glitchy AI love companion from the ‘semi-mature’ range meets her final customer.

PÖFF Shorts, part of the Black Nights Film Festival (PÖFF), is one of Europe’s biggest short film and animation festivals. The Academy Award and BAFTA-qualifying festival highlights bold shorts from international cutting-edge talents. This year, PleasureDora was the only film selected from Aotearoa New Zealand.

Congratulations to Mark and the team for the international recognition!
