This article will draw from some of these works in order to present a conceptual framework for understanding the film in terms of the tourism it induced. The first section focuses on the devices used in the film to create the ideal spectator and to encourage his/her identification with both the protagonist and the camera. The second section deals with the imaginative geography constructed by the film. The article concludes with the analysis of the process through which Karekare beach, the most famous location of the film, has become a popular New Zealand icon. -- Abstract Notes: Part of a special issue on digital cinema in Australia and New Zealand More info
