 |
|
The first New Zealand Film Festival is being held in Seoul, Jeonju, Gwangju, Daegu and Busan this month.
There is some earlier Peter Jackson stuff liek Bad Taste and Heavenly Creatures and whole lot of short films. Well worth a look. Further info here also you can email the emabassy at [email protected] for a timetable of events.
New Zealand has some really cool movies so go along and take a look. |

I don't think I've ever seen a New Zealander film. I didn't know there was an industry there. Do they even have a professional sound stage? I know that Lord of the Rings was partially shot there and that Sam Neill comes from there, but after that, nada.
And I watch a lot of foreign films, have been to several international film festivals, will be seeing an Australian, Malaysian, South African and Mongolian film next sunday as part of the PIFF festival in Busan, so I guess anything is possible... |

Actually the industry is pretty big employer there. It serves as a backdrop for a lot of films these days. Lord of the Rings, Last Samurai, and the lion the witch and the wardrobe, The piano, king kong were/are being shot there. Xena warrior princess and hercules were also filmed there (my dad worked on Xena as a grip).
Just as further weird aside Shilmido, Old Boy and Antartic Journal had scenes shot in kiwiland.
My favorite kiwifilms are
Whale rider,
Heavenly Creatures
Once were warriors,
Rain,
Footrot flats
Scarfies. |

Ha ha. Many good films make their world priemere at Canadian film festivals.
I sat near Lou Gossett Jr. at the world premiere of Anjelica Huston's Bastard Out of Carolina at the Toronto Film Festival almost ten years ago. And Matthew Broderick came on stage to introduce the second showing of his new film. Montreal also has a decent festival, though both Vancouver and Winnipeg put on more of a PIFF type event, lower key, less high profile.

I totally forgot about that great movie! Exceptional, quite different yet gripping. I knew it was made in and about an aspect of New Zealand life, a Maori family. It rocked like few films do. I think there was a sequel too, or some sort of similar spin-off by the same director, which I enjoyed too but which didn't have the same power as Once Were Warriors. |

It's called what becomes of the broken hearted and takes place after the wife leaves the husband. |

| My best picks would be "UTU" and one whose name I have forgotten which is a documentary on the 1980 anti springbok protests. |

Black Sheep first film of NZ-Korean partnership
14 October 2005
A comedy-horror film about genetically engineered sheep running amok, to be shot in Wellington next year, will be the first project financed under a new alliance between a Korean company and a New Zealand film house.
Representatives of Daesung Group and Wellington's Park Road Post, which did post-production services for The Lord of the Rings trilogy, The World's Fastest Indian and King Kong, have signed an investment agreement for Jonathan King's debut feature, it was announced in Seoul.
Black Sheep is set in New Zealand, where famously there are 10 sheep for every person, and tells of a genetic experiment gone horribly wrong.

I'm heading along tonight with my Korean girlfriend, and tomorrow night with her and a Canadian buddy. I'm especially interested to see a short film called "Eating Sausage"  about a Korean woman in NZ having trouble with her husband's 'traditional values'. I want to gauge the reaction of any Koreans in the audience.
A good chance to soak up some Kiwiana, too. |

Look, Tem's here; he's certainly not in Guatemala now, eh?! 
P.S. Wellingtonians - if you are missing home, did you know "The Strip" is showing at various times during the week on E-Channel? |
