These currents become one as they enter the river mouth. This reflects a traditional trait of the Wairoa people to have the ability to put aside their differences when engaged in a common purpose. It is in this spirit that Te Roopu Whakaata Maori I Te Wairoa invites the people of Aotearoa and the World to our turangawaewae, our place to stand, to celebrate and rejoice in the best in Maori and international indigenous film-making. 2 TE TAURIMA WHAKAATA MAORI I TE WAIROA Wairoa Maori Film Festival 2006 Theme Year One: Mana Wairoa: Nga Terenga Mahara, Nga Ara Ki Te Whakapono Mana Wairoa: Streams of Consciousness, Pathways to Belief The Best of A Celebration of Maori & Indigenous Film Movies ✯ Short Films ✯ Documentaries ✯ Wananga PARTNERS New Zealand Film Archive Gaiety Theatre & Cinema Takitimu Marae SUPPORTERS & SPONSORS Eastern & Central Community Trust Kahungunu Community Marae Kiwa Film & Television Lottery Grants Board Maori Television Moving Image Centre Ngatarawa Wines New Zealand Film Commission Palace Films Parihaka Peace Festival Pollywood Film Festival Screen Innovation Production Fund Te Iwi O Rakaipaaka Inc.

Haere atu ra e te Rangatira Tama Poata! Haere Atu Ra Korua…Moe! Moe! Moe Mai Korua! We are now into another exciting Wairoa Maori Film Festival. This year’s four days of films will cover a wide range of subjects including archival reels. We are opening with “Ngati” as the main feature on Friday night in honour of the lead actor, Wi Kuki Kaa, and the writer / producer, Tama Poata. Both Wi Kuki Kaa and Tama Poata have passed away since our last festival. They have inspired many over the years, and Source: United Nations. this year’s “River Queen” was Wi Kuki’s last “stand”. In welcoming everyone to the festival we hope you find pleasure in what is presented. We thank all the supporters who have seen the event as worthwhile, not only for Wairoa but for Aotearoa and the world in general. In Peace Pauline Tangiora Rongomaiwahine CHAIRPERSON The Gathering: Return of the Whale Dreamers Featuring Festival Chairperson Pauline Tangiora.

It’s the same with film-making. So many of our people’s stories are now being brought to life on the screen. Mana recently honoured one of our great Maori actors, the late Wi Kuki Kaa, with an up-close and personal family memoir and a stunning cover featuring Wi Kuki in his last film role - Old Rangi in River Queen. It’s great that Wi Kuki’s huge contribution to the Maori film industry will be celebrated at this year’s Wairoa Film Festival. I’m pleased to be a patron of the Wairoa Film Festival. As well as showcasing our achievements in film, the Festival is an innovative way of attracting people to this beautiful area. Call me a little prejudiced about my home district, but visitors always comment on the beauty of Wairoa with its river, the Mahia Peninsula and the bordering Urewera National Park. This natural beauty is surpassed only by the warm hospitality of the local people.” Derek Fox – Ngati Kahungunu, Rongomaiwahine, Ngati Porou Editor of Mana Magazine Mana Magazine - our stories, our people, our history Latest issue on sale now from leading newsagents.

So the vision continues, with this, the Second Annual Wairoa Maori Film Festival 2006 planned for Labour Weekend this year. Last year’s event was the inaugural festival, a unique event that has brought us memories that will indeed last a lifetime. This year’s festival promises similar highlights – the unique energy that occurs when our Maori and indigenous dreamkeepers gather to share their visions and documentations, the “Ihi” that makes our Maori events so unique and spontaneous. The theme of this year’s festival is: “Nga Terenga Mahara – Nga Ara Ki Te Whakapono”, “Streams Of Consciousness – Pathways To Belief”. From “Nga Terenga Mahara” we have the dramatised imagined visions of our Maori and indigenous scriptwriters, with an extensive dramatic feature and short film selection. For “Nga Ara Ki Te Whakapono” it is “seeing is believing” with stories of Maori and indigenous lives, dilemmas and celebrations here in Aotearoa and around the world in an extensive documentary selection. This year we have an extensive international selection, from indigenous film-makers with a similar whenua-whanau focus as Maori. Watch the squabbling of two Australian Aboriginal Nannies – fighting over a deceased husband they shared – in “The Lore Of Love”. Witness the tragic arrival of Western belief systems to the Native American people in “Conversion”. Watch in wonder the whales off the South Australia coast, as they respond to the call of the “Whale Dreamers”, including Mahia’s own Pauline Tangiora. Guest of honour at this year’s festival will be Barry Barclay.

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. Inherited Body A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Creative Writing at Massey University, Manawatū, New Zealand. Rebecca Joy Styles 2017 Abstract Narrative ethics is a useful tool for approaching New Zealand historical fiction about family history because it looks to the risks and losses of appropriating family for the author, their subjects, and readers. In the following critical analysis I discuss three recent New Zealand novels based on family historical narratives, each of which depict characters attempting to write their own stories within power structures that threaten to silence them: Alison Wong’s As The Earth Turns Silver (2009), Paula Morris’s Rangatira (2011), and Kelly Ana Morey’s Bloom (2003). For a writer a narrative ethics analysis ensures they acknowledge the ethical implications of their work, not just for their own family, but for collective understanding. My novel Inherited Body fictionalises an incident from my family’s history about mental health and sits alongside a contemporary narrative that seeks to understand the possible causes of a psychotic break. A narrative ethics analysis has highlighted my dual role as reader/critic and writer. Wayne C. Booth’s discussion of narrative ethics emphasises the connection between writer, character and their readers. Adam Zachary Newton expands on this transactive connection and shows the ethical consequences of narrating story and fictionalising people, and the reciprocal claims connecting teller, listener, witness and reader in that process.

Dodd Watkins College of Art, Design, and Film, [email protected] Recommended Citation Dodd, Kevin V. (2012) "Whale Rider: The Re-enactment of Myth and the Empowerment of Women," Journal of Religion & Film: Vol. 16 : Iss. 2 , Article 9.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Journal of Religion & Film by an authorized editor of DigitalCommons@UNO. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Whale Rider: The Re-enactment of Myth and the Empowerment of Women Abstract Whale Rider represents a particular type of mythic film that includes within it references to an ancient sacred story and is itself a contemporary recapitulation of it. The movie also belongs to a further subcategory of mythic cinema, using the double citation of the myth—in its original form and its re-enactment—to critique the subordinate position of women to men in the narrated world. To do this, the myth is extended beyond its traditional scope and context. After looking at how the movie embeds the story and recapitulates it, this paper examines the film’s reception. To consider the variety of positions taken by critics, it then analyses the traditional myth as well as how the book first worked with it. The onclusionc is, in distinction to the book, that the film drives a wedge between the myth’s original sacred function to provide meaning in the world for the Maori people and its extended intention to empower women, favoring the latter at the former’s expense.

  • 1 Cultural Translation and Filmmaking in the Pacficic
    CULTURAL TRANSLATION AND FILMMAKING IN THE PACFICIC Vilsoni Hereniko Introduction When my feature film The Land Has Eyes screened at the Moscow International Film Festival in 2004, my producer/wife and I, the director and writer, were assigned a Russian translator. Since we don’t speak Russian, we were grateful for this service. However, during the introduction preceding the film screening, some members of the audience reacted in rather surprising ways to the translator’s version of what we had said, making us wonder about the accuracy of the translation. And then the film screened. No one laughed or made any audible sounds throughout the screening of our film. Everyone was so quiet you could hear yourself breathe. This was strange because we had just returned from screening the film eight times around Rotuma where the film was shot. There, the reaction was one of hilarity, with some audience members shouting mocking comments at the actors on screen, cheering when an old lady riding a scooter chased the villain, or slapping each other on the back as they burst into laughter when someone said or did something that they recognized as so typically Rotuman. Audience members teased the actors who sat among them, ridiculing them when they made an appearance and basically making quite a bit of noise. This was the first feature film 1 ever made on Rotuma, and seeing themselves on screen appeared to be a source of amusement, if not excitement. At several screenings, the chiefs had to order the audience to shut up so that others could hear the dialogue and follow the film’s plot.

  • Convenient Fictions
    CONVENIENT FICTIONS: THE SCRIPT OF LESBIAN DESIRE IN THE POST-ELLEN ERA. A NEW ZEALAND PERSPECTIVE By Alison Julie Hopkins A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Victoria University of Wellington 2009 Acknowledgements I would like to acknowledge those people who have supported me in my endeavour to complete this thesis. In particular, I would like to thank Dr Alison Laurie and Dr Lesley Hall, for their guidance and expertise, and Dr Tony Schirato for his insights, all of which were instrumental in the completion of my study. I would also like to express my gratitude to all of those people who participated in the research, in particular Mark Pope, facilitator of the ‘School’s Out’ programme, the staff at LAGANZ, and the staff at the photographic archive of The Alexander Turnbull Library. I would also like to acknowledge the support of The Chief Censor, Bill Hastings, and The Office of Film and Literature Classification, throughout this study. Finally, I would like to thank my most ardent supporters, Virginia, Darcy, and Mo. ii Abstract Little has been published about the ascending trajectory of lesbian characters in prime-time television texts. Rarer still are analyses of lesbian fictions on New Zealand television. This study offers a robust and critical interrogation of Sapphic expression found in the New Zealand television landscape. More specifically, this thesis analyses fictional lesbian representation found in New Zealand’s prime-time, free-to-air television environment. It argues that television’s script of lesbian desire is more about illusion than inclusion, and that lesbian representation is a misnomer, both qualitatively and quantitively.

  • 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.

  • Maori Miners
    MAORI AND MINING IN NEW ZEALAND AND BEYOND Philip Hart Te Aroha Mining District Working Papers No. 17 2016 Historical Research Unit Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences The University of Waikato Private Bag 3105 Hamilton, New Zealand ISSN: 2463-6266 © 2016 Philip Hart Contact: [email protected] 1 MAORI AND MINING IN NEW ZEALAND AND BEYOND Abstract: Before the arrival of Europeans, Maori had known of the existence of gold but did not mine it and had no understanding of its value. Once mining commenced in California in 1849 and Australia in the early 1850s, many Maori participated on several fields, especially in Victoria. When gold was first discovered in New Zealand, at Coromandel in 1852, Maori were keen to learn prospecting skills, and soon found gold in several parts of both the North and South Islands. Some alluvial claims were worked communally, even some women participating. From the start, Maori were determined to protect their rights against Pakeha when they were rivals for the same ground. On the Hauraki Peninsula, which had no alluvial gold, Maori were prospectors rather than miners. Some were successful, often going against the wishes of rangatira who, fearing that opening goldfields would result in their losing their land, refused access to prospectors, particularly in Ohinemuri. At Thames, Maori prospectors succeeded where Pakeha ones had failed, finding the gold that led to the 1867 rush; a rush encouraged by one rangatira in particular, Wirope Hoterene Taipari, who understood how a successful field would benefit him financially (including obtaining a reward for discovering a payable goldfield).
