Summary: "Focusing on industrial and commercial concerns, questions of aesthetics and form, and the cultural debates surrounding nation and identity, the book surveys the full range of filmmaking in New Zealand. It displays the rich diversity of film production in the country, and in doing so highlights a number of specific contexts - Maori, documentary and short filmmaking, literary adaptations, the development of the national Film Commission and Archive, marketing and censorship, in addition to explorations into the place of bicultural relations, spirituality, masculinity and disability - that have created a cinema of global significance. Featuring critical accounts of internationally-acclaimed features like The Piano and Once Were Warriors, as well as the growth of the national infrastructure that made such films possible, Contemporary New Zealand Cinema is the most thorough study available of a vibrant filmmaking culture. The book also includes a fully comprehensive filmography detailing all New Zealand feature and television films."--BOOK JACKET

Summary: "When 'The Piano' opened in 1993 it was hailed by many as a modern masterpiece. Written and directed by Jane Campion, it won the Palme d'Or at Cannes, making her the first woman ever to win this prestigious award. It went on to win Academy Awards for Best Original Screenplay (Campion), Best Actress (Holly Hunter) and Best Supporting Actress (Anna Paquin). "In this thoughtful and perceptive critique, Gail Jones assesses the film's unearthly and controversial visions, its poetic power and its capacity to entrance and to alienate."
Notes: Includes notes, bibliography, filmography, 'The Piano' credits and synopses of other books in the 'Australian Screen Classics' series.
