Turning to contemporary and historical artists who engage the relation between the screen and the space that projects from it, the exhibition maps the genealogy and continuing life of a modernist tradition of depth. In three thematic suites, this exhibition combines volumetric cinemas and paintings that spill off the wall. It offers exemplars of a strain of aesthetic practice in which the interrogation of a haptic surface accompanies a commitment to the formal complexity of images. By addressing the materiality of projective space—that physical zone beyond the picture plane activated by the body of the spectator in conjunction with the beam of the projector or the intricacies of painted forms— Cinema & Painting examines the interconnection of these arts not only in pictorial but in explicitly phenomenological terms.

    REST FOR THE WICKED ONE- SENTENCE SUMMARY: Old cop Murray (Tony Barry) goes undercover into a retirement village in a last-ditch effort to catch the one that got away, the old crook Frank (John Bach). SHORT SYNOPSIS Murray (Tony Barry) is a retired cop with a new undercover mission. He‟s going into a retirement village to catch Frank (John Bach), the old crook he has never been able to pin a crime on. Murray is convinced Frank murdered fellow crim, Jimmy Booth, years ago but was never able to make the evidence stick. This time, he‟s going to make sure he gets his man. So, when people in the retirement village start dying, Murray is on the case. But as events go increasingly haywire, it becomes apparent that all is not as it seems with Frank. Or Murray. 1 LONG SYNOPSIS Murray (Tony Barry), an old cop in reflective mood, cuts a story from the newspaper about an explosion at a P-house. Another old man on a mobility scooter, Frank (John Bach) arrives at a run-down house, takes the drug dealers inside by surprise, guns them all down and watches gleefully as the house blows up. Murray packs his bag, gets ready to leave, his daughter Susan (Sara Wiseman) fussing over him, helping him with his tie. Susan notices Murray has left the iron turn on. Murray tells his grandson Max (George Beca) he‟s off on a top-secret mission. Max seems worried. Murray describes himself as “an old dog off to dig up some old bones.” At Knightsbridge Gardens Retirement Village, Murray and Susan are greeted by the manager, Miss Pomeroy (Elisabeth Easther).

  • 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.

  • MUSIC for the SILENT ONE: an Interview with Composer Jenny Mcleod
    Screen Sound n1, 2010 ! MUSIC FOR THE SILENT ONE: An Interview with Composer Jenny McLeod Riette Ferreira Abstract The Silent One is a significant film in the context of New Zealand (NZ) cinema for several reasons. It was the first New Zealand drama feature film directed by a woman and the first using a Dolby stereo soundtrack. Its incorporation of underwater film sequences played a vital part in portraying the world of the film’s central character, Jonasi, a deaf-mute. Jonasi’s vocal inability allows for other sound elements to play an important role in the narrative and emotional content. One such element is the music score provided by Jenny McLeod who discusses her work on the film in the following interview. Keywords The Silent One, Jenny McLeod, film score, New Zealand film Introduction: New Zealand Cinema Context A baby boy in a small canoe washes up on the shore of a beautiful Pacific Island. What will the local tribe make of him? (Promotional tagline, The Silent One, 1984) The Silent One was produced and released at a transitional moment for New Zealand cinema. As Roger Horrocks argues, around 1984 there were “profound changes… in government, in popular culture and the arts” (1999: 130) that were tied into debates about New Zealand cinematic ‘identity’. Roger Donaldson’s highly acclaimed Sleeping Dogs (1977) is generally regarded as the start of contemporary cinema in New Zealand. The success of this film, and initiatives of Donaldson and his contemporaries, led to the establishment of the New Zealand Film Commission in 1978 by an Act of Parliament that aimed “to encourage and also participate and assist in the making, promoting, distribution, and exhibition of films” (Dennis and Bieringa, 1996: 214).

  • This Is Wellington the Representation of Wellington in New Zealand
    THIS IS WELLINGTON I This is Wellington The Representation of Wellington in New Zealand Tourism Film from 1912 to 2017 By Diego Bonelli A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Victoria University of Wellington (2018) THIS IS WELLINGTON II THIS IS WELLINGTON III ABSTRACT This thesis analyses the representation of Wellington in tourism films between 1912, the year in which the first New Zealand tourism film depicting Wellington was released, until 2017, the production year of the last case study. It also aims to trace both the dynamics of formal, stylistic and narrative development and the contexts of circulation of New Zealand tourism film. This thesis relies on the textual analysis of case studies conceived for different distribution platforms, selected according to their stylistic, formal, thematic and narrative relevance and to the availability of related archival documents; on the analysis of archival material related to New Zealand film production; on interviews with key informants involved in local tourism film production and tourism marketing; on the analysis of scholarly sources. This research argues that the depiction of Wellington has been regularly underpinned by a set of economic, social and political factors that changed throughout time and that determined shifts and turning points in its representation. More broadly, it observes how New Zealand tourism film was on the one hand characterised by a tendency towards formal, stylistic and narrative experimentation while on the other it was constantly subjected to forms of institutional planning and control. This thesis aims to contribute to film studies in different ways.

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.
