After 40 years of dedicated service, Director Bill Gosden Resene Resene handed in his keys and retired at the end of March. His legacy is monumental. Under his leadership, Pukeko Koru NZIFF has developed from its humble beginnings to the prominent cinema event it is today. In this period of transition, we have endeavoured to uphold the curatorial mission established during Bill’s tenure: to celebrate, with New Zealanders, the best that world and homegrown cinema has to offer, and to ensure that our audience’s appetite continues to be surprised, delighted, rewarded and challenged. Our role is to be a conduit between filmmakers – through the stories their films recount – and the community NZIFF serves. This year some of these tales take us from the jungles of Vietnam to the moon landing, from the gritty streets of a Parisian banlieue to a small farm in far north New Zealand, from the desolate sertão of northeastern Brazil to the high seas of the Atlantic Ocean – and, ecstatically, to the concert stages of musical greats. We cannot emphasise enough how NZIFF, being a non-profit enterprise, depends on you, the audience. Though the Wellington event calendar is much more crowded in 2019 than it was in 1972 Resene Resene Gorse Pavlova your enthusiastic support ensures our spot as the major cultural event of the New Zealand winter. We would also like to acknowledge the generous support of our partners. The longstanding major sponsorship we receive from the New Zealand Film Commission is invaluable in allowing us to select, deliver and promote our choice of New Zealand work. We are pleased that the Wellington City Council and Wellington Community Trust continue to recognise our significant contribution to Wellington’s cultural landscape. Resene joins us for their sixth year as sponsors of another stellar selection of films from Aotearoa. Our media partners Flicks.co.nz, The Breeze, NZ Herald and Metro magazine ensure that our audience engage with, and delve into, the diverse films in our programme. Creative New Zealand joins us for the second year as our Artistic Development Partner and Russell McVeagh returns as our standing Gala sponsor. And this year we are delighted to welcome Green & Black’s on board as our World strand Bringing colour to kiwi life since 1946 partner. To these and all our partners, we say thank you. Bill bowed out in style last year with Wellington – both his and the festival’s home for over four decades – Resene’s big screen story began back in 1946 when Ted Nightingale started making paint from his Wellington garage. Over 70 celebrating record attendances. It has been a pleasure and a privilege to work alongside him. The team at years later and the Resene name lives on as a truly homegrown success story, known for its quality paint, colour and innovation. NZIFF would like to dedicate this year’s festival to Bill, in recognition of his inestimable contribution to film Our paints are designed and made in New Zealand for our harsh weather conditions and our colours are inspired by everyday kiwi life. culture in New Zealand.

  • Kings of Lies False Memories Records/Sonic Rendezvous Kings of Lies Is
    Kings of Lies False Memories Records/Sonic RendezVous Kings of Lies is the name of the band featuring Francis Kuipers, a Dutch / English artist, musician and composer, as well as writer and poet. During his many travels, he collected and studied ethnic and experimental music. This resulted in a still ongoing interest and research into sound and music. He created a unique and comprehensive archive of sounds. At this time, Francis mainly lives and works in Italy and the Netherlands. It is worth mentioning that the music of Kings of Lies is a hybrid of various music styles. The background of the band members, Francis Kuipers - voice, guitar, Franc auf dem Brinke - drums and Sam Tjioe - bass, is very different. The main influence is, of course, that of Francis Kuipers, author of the songs and lyrics. He comes from a tradition of folk and blues. Franc auf dem Brinke not only has a jazz background but is as well influenced by Cuban and Brazilian music. Sam Tjioe played in rock and punk bands and is also responsible for the production of the album. Perhaps even more important than the music, and certainly just as important, are the lyrics. These are primarily poetic; this can be traced back to Francis performing in duo with Beat Generation poet Gregory Corso for a number of years until Corso's death. Kings of Lies can hardly be described as performing love songs. In other times, a few of the numbers might have been labeled protest songs. According to their author they are ironic stories that challenge the prevailing morality of our times, characterized by intolerance, economic opportunism and the return of religion.

  • Conductor, Composer and Violinist Jaakko Kuusisto Enjoys An
    Conductor, composer and violinist Jaakko Kuusisto enjoys an extensive career that was launched by a series of successes in international violin competitions in the 1990s. Having recorded concertos by some of the most prominent Finnish contemporary composers, such as Rautavaara, Aho, Sallinen and Pulkkis, he is one of the most frequently recorded Finnish instrumentalists. When BIS Records launched a project of complete Sibelius recordings, Kuusisto had a major role in the violin works and string chamber music. Moreover, his discography contains several albums outside the classical genre. Kuusisto’s conducting repertoire is equally versatile and ranges from baroque to the latest new works, regardless of genre. He has worked with many leading orchestras, including Minnesota Orchestra; Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide Symphony Orchestras; NDR Hannover, DeFilharmonie in Belgium; Chamber Orchestras of Tallinn and Lausanne; Helsinki, Turku and Tampere Philharmonic Orchestras; Oulu Symphony Orchestra as well as the Avanti! Chamber Orchestra. Kuusisto recently conducted his debut performances with the Krakow Sinfonietta and Ottawa’s National Arts Center Orchestra, as well as at the Finnish National Opera’s major production Indigo, an opera by heavy metal cello group Apocalyptica’s Eicca Toppinen and Perttu Kivilaakso. The score of the opera is also arranged and orchestrated by Kuusisto. Kuusisto performs regularly as soloist and chamber musician and has held the position of artistic director at several festivals. Currently he is the artistic director of the Oulu Music Festival with a commitment presently until 2017. Kuusisto also enjoys a longstanding relationship with the Lahti Symphony Orchestra: having served as concertmaster during 1999-2012, his collaboration with the orchestra now continues with frequent guest conducting and recordings, to name a few.

  • GODFREY REGGIO (Director, Koyaanisqatsi) Is a Pioneer of a Film Form That Creates Poetic Images of Extraordinary Emotive Impact
    GODFREY REGGIO (Director, Koyaanisqatsi) is a pioneer of a film form that creates poetic images of extraordinary emotive impact. Reggio is best known for the Qatsi Trilogy – essays of image and music, speechless narrations which question the world in which we live. Born in New Orleans in 1940, Reggio entered the Christian Brothers, a Roman Catholic Pontifical Order, at age 14 and remained as a monk until 1968. In 1963, he co-founded Young Citizens for Action, a community organization of juvenile street gangs. Reggio co-founded La Clinica de la Gente and La Gente, a community organizing project in Northern New Mexico’s barrios. In 1972, he co- founded the Institute for Regional Education in Santa Fe, a nonprofit organization focused on media, the arts, community organization and research. In collaboration with the New Mexico Chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union, Reggio co- organized a multimedia public interest campaign on the invasion of privacy and the use of technology to control behavior. Reggio’s collaboration on Koyaanisqatsi with Ron Fricke (Director of Photography) and Philip Glass (Composer) gained an international audience, critical acclaim and launched the Qatsi Trilogy. Koyaanisqatsi has been played live over 200 times in venues worldwide. Reggio’s collaborations with Philip Glass, include: Koyaanisqatsi (1982), Powaqqatsi (1988), Naqoyqatsi (2002), Anima Mundi (1992), Evidence (1995) and Visitors (2013). In 1993, Reggio was invited by Luciano Benetton and Oliviero Toscani to develop a new school “to smell the future” – an enterprise of exploration and production in the arts, technology and mass media. Called Fabrica – Futuro Presente, it opened in the middle of the ‘90s in Treviso, Italy.

  • In My Blood It Runs
    History. Learning. Love. Resistance. IN MY BLOOD IT RUNS Directed by Maya Newell In Collaboration with Dujuan Hoosan, Carol Turner, Megan Hoosan, James Mawson, Margaret Anderson LOGLINE When Dujuan cannot run nor fight alone, he faces the history that runs straight into him and realises that not only has he inherited the trauma and dispossession of his land, but also the resilience and resistance of many generations of his people which holds the key to his future. SYNOPSIS Ten-year-old Dujuan is a child-healer, a good hunter and speaks three languages. As he shares his wisdom of history and the complex world around him we see his spark and intelligence. Yet Dujuan is ‘failing’ in school and facing increasing scrutiny from welfare and the police. As he travels perilously close to incarceration, his family fight to give him a strong Arrernte education alongside his western education lest he becomes another statistic. We walk with him as he grapples with these pressures, shares his truths and somewhere in-between finds space to dream, imagine and hope for his future self. “When you go out bush every week, you learn how to control your anger, and you learn how to control your life” 2 “Aboriginals have still survived here.” LONG SYNOPSIS Ten-year-old Dujuan is a child-healer, a good hunter and speaks three languages. As he shares his wisdom of history and the complex world around him we see his spark and intelligence. Yet Dujuan is ‘failing’ in school and facing increasing scrutiny from welfare and the police.

  • Mini-Mag N12
    Bulletin de liaison Automne/Hiver 2012 mini-Mag N12 L'École de Berlin, entre mythe et réalité Par Frédéric Gerchambeau Revenons au tout début de l'histoire. Nous avons un rocker psychédélique en mal de reconnaissance de son jeu guitaristique, un batteur apocalyptique passionné de musique classique, un ex-batteur de jazz féru de rythmes africains et un organiste moyennement doué et surtout dilettante. Difficile d'espérer, a priori, que ces quatre personnages révolutionnent quoi que ce soit concernant la musique. Et pourtant. Mais ils ne l'auraient pas fait sans un sérieux coup de pouce. De qui donc ? D'un musicien d'origine suisse généralement parfaitement ignoré dans ce contexte. Je veux parler de Thomas Kessler. Car la plupart des musiciens qui ont pris part à l'aventure de ce que je conte ici ont longuement assisté aux cours de composition dispensés au Conservatoire de Berlin par le compositeur de musique contemporaine Thomas Kessler. Celui-ci, très soucieux de contribuer à la maturation artistique des jeunes musiciens berlinois qui assistaient à ses cours, ne se contentait pas de leur enseigner sa déjà longue expérience en Quand on évoque l'Ecole de Berlin, on sait parfaitement de quoi on parle. On parle matière de musique expérimentale. Il a mis, en effet, à leur de séquences hypnotiques, de solos envoûtants et souvent orientalisants, de sons disposition un véritable studio où ceux-ci pouvaient répéter étranges et de nappes éthérées, le tout contenu dans de longues plages musicales librement et s'aventurer à loisir dans toutes sortes de aux parfums d'ailleurs et d'infini.

  • Žagajo«! Ljubljana | 6
    Ocena koncerta Finci dobro »žagajo«! Ljubljana | 6. 6. 2006 | Boštjan Tušek/S. M. Apocalyptica, kultni trojec finskih čelistov, je kljub nizkim temperaturam uspešno dvigoval temperaturo na koncertu v Križankah. Primorska pevka Lara Baruca, po novem Lara-B, je imela tokrat nalogo, da ogreje publiko. To ji je bolj ali manj uspelo v tričetrturnem nastopu, v katerem je predstavila udarno mešanico novejših in starejših skladb. Poleg trših zvokov, kakršne najdemo tudi na njenem zadnjem albumu Mindhacker, se je Lara predstavila tudi v precej sveži in odštekani odrski podobi. Čekeliš) Dare (Foto: Metalski napad klasičnih instrumentov ... bi lahko označili glasbo Apocalyptice, ki je v avditoriju Križank udarila nekaj minut po deseti uri. Eicca Toppinen, Paavo Lotjonen in Perttu Kivilaakso (ki jim na živih nastopih pomaga še Antero Manninen, ki nenehno nosi skrivnostna črna očala), so že pred desetletjem odkrili popolnoma svojo zvrst glasbe. Takrat so izdali album (Plays Metallica by Four Cellos) s priredbami pesmi Metallice, ki jim je poleg edinstvenega klasično-metalskega zvoka tudi hitro prinesel številne oboževalce in množico prodanih plošč. V dobri uri in pol se je tako zvrstilo precej skladb iz njihove desetletne kariere, med katerimi so bile najbolj z navdušenjem sprejete Nothing Else Matters, Enter Sandman, Master of Puppets, Seek and Destroy (vse priredbe Metallice), pozabili pa niso niti na svoje stvaritve, kot sta Path No. 2 in Repressed. Težko je spregledati dejstvo, da Apocalyptica najbolje deluje prav na živih nastopih, saj je prek CD in DVD predvajalnikov zelo težko podoživeti energijo, ki jo ti čarovniki s klasičnimi instrumenti oddajajo na odru. Poleg tega pa nastope začinijo z veščim metalskim opletanjem z lasmi, ki ga obvladata Perttu in Eicca, slednji pa je med posameznimi skladbami poskrbel tudi za simpatične komentarje in napovedi v »finski« angleščini.

  • Rückkopplungen Aus Dem Zodiak Free Arts Lab
    BILDET NISCHEN! Rückkopplungen aus dem Zodiak Free Arts Lab HAU 21.–26.9.2021 Bildet Nischen! Rückkopplungen aus dem Zodiak Free Arts Lab 21.–26.9.2021 / HAU1 Im Winter des Jahres 1967 begann der Musiker und Künstler Conrad Schnitzler, auf Einladung des Wirtes Paul Glaser in zwei Räumen unter der damaligen Schaubühne am Halleschen Ufer, dem heutigen HAU2, das Programm zu gestalten. Mit Mit strei - ter:innen betrieb er das Zodiak Free Arts Lab über ein Jahr lang als hierarchiefreien Raum für musikalische Experimente und interdisziplinären Austausch. Bis 1969 diente das Zodiak als künstlerischer wie sozialer Treffpunkt. Trotz des kurzen Be- stehens kann es als initiierender Ort für zahlreiche musikalische Entwicklungen ver- standen werden – vor allem für die kurze Zeit später entstehende “Berliner Schule”, deren Sound oft unter dem Begriff “Krautrock” zusammengefasst wird und der bis heute in diversen musikalischen Strömungen nachhallt. “Bildet Nischen! Rückkopplungen aus dem Zodiak Free Arts Lab” begibt sich auf Spurensuche und beleuchtet die Verbindungen aus politischen, sozialen und kultu- rellen Verhältnissen, die auf die Szene um das Zodiak einwirkten. Welche Gemenge - lagen setzen auch heute noch Energien frei, die sich in (pop-)kulturellen Entwick- lungen manifestieren? Wie findet sich Gegenkultur und welcher Räume bedarf es dafür? Lassen sich Spuren und Bezüge des Zodiak in der kulturellen Praxis späterer subkultureller Entwicklungen im Berliner Underground aufzeigen? Fragestellungen wie diese bleiben bis in die aktuelle Gegenwart für die Entwicklung künstlerischer Positionen relevant. In einem Programm aus Konzerten, Kollaborationen, Installa- tionen, Gesprächen und einer Lecture Performance geht das HAU ihnen nach. Ein Festival des HAU Hebbel am Ufer.
