The programme launch, at Rialto Dunedin, marked the 41st annual film festival to be held in the city.

The festival screens at the Regent Theatre and Rialto Cinemas between August 8 and 30.

A Canadian-born Dunedin resident, Ms Robinson has been attending the Dunedin festival since the 1990s and went to about 10 screenings at the event last year.
