Notes

“New Zealand has produced one of the world's most vibrant film culture - testament to the country's evolving history. From early silent features like The Te Kooti Trail to recent films such as River Queen, this book examines the role of the cinema in building a shared sense of national identity. The works of key directors, including Peter Jackson, Jane Campion and Vincent Ward, are introduced in a new light, and select films are given in-depth coverage”-- Back cover
