Dazzling Mirage also screened at the Australian Nollywood Festival Limited, based in Wellington, New Zealand, the first edition of a festival of Nollywood movies in New Zealand and Australia.

Australian Nollywood Festival (ANF) took place  in September and October, so the first premiere was actually in Australia! The Nigerian High Commission hosted a community reception to premiere Dazzling Mirage at Paramount Cinemas on Thursday, October 9, in Wellington and then in Auckland on Thursday, October 16, at Rialto Cinemas, Newmarket.

The festival featured post-screening forums at Victoria University of Wellington (VUW) and Auckland University of Technology (AUT). The forums were hosted by the Film Studies programme at VUW, African Communities Forum Inc as well as West Indian & Caribbean Society at AUT.
