groups who are responsible for the industry as it appears today:
those involved in pioneering film in New Zealand, those associated
with the New Wave of the 1970s and 1980s, and those post -
mid-1980s visionaries and fantasists who have produced striking
individual productions. A comprehensive introduction situates the
New Zealand film industry in cultural, historical, and ideological
contexts.The book displays the diversity of filmmaking in New

cultural concerns that have created a film culture of international
significance. With the majority of the contributions in the book

industry in New Zealand. Each essay also includes a thorough and
definitive filmography, detailing the full nature of the work
produced by each individual, with key titles highlighted.Filmmakers
