This is New Zealand - Redux
Hugh Macdonald
Director Hugh Macdonald will be presenting our opening night of This is New Zealand on Thursday 12 August, followed by a Q&A session.
|
When This is New Zealand opened in Japan at the beginning of 1970 no one could have known that this would be a watershed moment in New Zealand film-making history. By the time the film ended its New Zealand run at the beginning of 1972, however, some people had realised that for the first time ever New Zealand had produced a film that was not only as good as, but even better than, state-of-the-art films produced by countries with much longer and stronger film-making traditions, and much more plentiful resources.
After This is New Zealand no one could doubt that New Zealanders could take on the world of film – and win. The legacy of This is New Zealand lives on. Director: Hugh Macdonald (1971 & 2021)
