New Zealand Filmmakers

Edited by Ian Conrich and Stuart Murray

Contemporary Approaches to Film and Television Series

“New Zealand filmmaking is in the spotlight, in the wake of the global successes of The Lord of the Rings and King Kong. This very timely book will enlighten readers about the ‘other’ New Zealand cinema, with fascinating insights into the creative output of this South Pacific nation.”

—Geoff Lealand, Associate Professor of (Screen and Media Studies at the University of Waikato, New Zealand

“At the present time no satisfactory, adoptable texts are available that cover a range of New Zealand films and filmmakers. New Zealand Filmmakers is a necessary contribution to film studies.”

—Paula Massood, Associate Professor of Film Studies at CUNY, Brooklyn
