Film Festival

If you were not able to attend our Film Festival evenings, here are Room 8's films for you to enjoy.



What is the X Factor you ask? It’s a fierce, competitive talent show, where the judges have high expectations for the performances and they don’t hold back! Will anyone get the golden buzzer or will they all get the X? Which group will take the title of  X Factor...









In Family Feud, a face to face competition between two Kiwi families takes place, with hosts that will have you laughing and contests that have attitude. Who will get the points? Do they have what it takes to take away the win?
