  • New Zealand Movies 2016
    New zealand movies 2016 Continue In the early 1990s, the British Film Institute launched the Century of Cinema Series in an attempt to explore various examples of national cinemas around the world. The film, written and directed by Kiwi actor Sam Neill, has been a contributor to the project. Although his attitude to this topic has gradually changed, Sam Neill concluded in his documentary that the New zealand films are predominantly dark and brooding. This particular era of filmmaking began in the mid-1970s with the rise of the New Wave in cinema. Here, the themes that defined the way the New ealand public viewed themselves on screen put enormous creative pressure on local filmmakers. Since then, the national cinema of New york has experienced a number of unstable stages. Over the years, one of the greatest obstacles that the filmmakers of New York have had to overcome has been the high poppy syndrome of Kiwi culture. Local audiences have been impressed by the talents and creativity of their country's artists, so very few Kiwis will sit and watch New york made productions. National pride for the country's film industry has blossomed recently. Below is a list of the top ten examples of national cinema in New York. It is important to note that despite a key role in the creation of the influential film industry in New York, peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit series were not included in this book. Instead, the films selected for the list are those that demonstrate the key characteristics of the country's culture.

The cool, clean air chills your lungs, the only sound is the quiet rustle of trees and lonely birds and the sky. The bedazzled ​ ​ night seems to move with glittering stars, with distant galaxies resting in a milky swirl. Those existential thoughts kick in as you stare: what does the future hold for New Zealand? Will this brilliantly starry night still be here in 10 years? What will it be in 100 years? Will we ever settle on those stars? Future pondering continue: maybe the world will become a cultural hotpot as in The Fifth ​ Element (Besson, 1997). It could equally be a technological dystopia The Matrix (Wachowskis’, ​ ​ ​ 1999). Maybe all the cultures will form their own worlds, each diverse and wonderful, like those in the Star Wars franchise(1977-2019).

Te Wheke, un éclaireur des troupes coloniales, retrouve sa tribu massacrée par l’armée pour laquelle il travaille. Trahi et fou de douleur, il jure de se venger et d’infl iger le même châtiment - utu - aux Pakehas (les Néo-Zélandais d’origine européenne). IL FALLAIT... SAUVER UTU ! UTU (1983) est l’un des plus grands succès du cinéma néo-zélandais. À l’époque, son budget de 3 millions de dollars (environ 30 millions d’aujourd’hui) en faisait la production la plus chère de l’histoire du pays. Une production qui, quelque part, reçut la bénédiction des dieux. Le doyen des conseillers maoris plaça en effet toute la production et ceux qui y participaient sous la protection d’un « tapu » (un tabou) qui rendait intouchable et sacré le fi lm. Il s’agit du premier fi lm néo-zélandais à avoir été présenté au Festival de Cannes en Sélection Offi cielle, Hors Compétition. En 1983, il était classé deuxième au box-offi ce néo-zélandais, derrière le fi lm précédent de Geoff Murphy, GOODBYE PORK PIE.

  • Martyn Sanderson (1938 - 2009)
    ka mate ka ora: a new zealand journal of poetry and poetics Issue 9 March 2010 ‘LANDED POEM UPWARDS’: MARTYN SANDERSON (1938 - 2009) Murray Edmond Martyn Sanderson burst onto the New Zealand poetry scene with eleven poems in Louis Johnson's 1964 New Zealand Poetry Yearbook, the issue which contained allegedly 'obscene' poems from Baxter and Richard Packer. Two of Sanderson's poems were also embroiled in the obscenity controversy. The Yearbook of the Arts in New Zealand was first published in 1945 and was succeeded by the New Zealand Poetry Yearbook in 1951. Both these publications were part of that institutionalisation of cultural nationalism which began to occur during, but mostly happened after, the Second World War - the National Film Unit (1941), the New Zealand Literary Fund (1946), the National Library Service (1947), the National Orchestra (1947), the New Zealand Ballet Company (1953), the first of a number of New Zealand Opera Companies in 1954, and the sequence of poetry anthologies, Curnow's 1945 and 1951 Caxton anthologies and Chapman and Bennett's 1956 Oxford, and finally Curnow’s 1960 Penguin. It was all coming together, or so it seems in W.H. Oliver's complacent retrospective account: ‘the breakthrough came with the end of the Second World War . These crowded years transformed a colonial society into an independent one . .' (Oliver, 539). Sanderson managed to jump on the very end of Oliver's independence train because the 1964 Poetry Yearbook was Johnson's last. That was that, an era was over - and what was to come next? ( see Edmond).
