The essays here describe an incredible progression from early New Zealand films to the blockbusters of the present. They outline industrial achievements, the workings of film form, and the effect that New Zealand cinema has as part of the country's culture. Taken together, the essays are a fitting tribute to all those who have worked in the industry." -- From the forward by Terence Bayler
