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 JACKETNotes: Filmography: p.[239]-253

Maoritanga in Whale rider and Once were warriors: a problematic rebirth through female leaders in Studies in Australasian cinema (2007) vol.1 iss.1 p.15-27
Author: De Souza, Pascale PhysDes: ArticleSubject: MAORI IN FILMS ; NATIONAL IDENTITY AND THE CINEMA. NEW ZEALAND ; WHALE RIDER (NZ/GG, Niki Caro, 2002) ; ONCE WERE WARRIORS (NZ, Lee Tamahori, 1994) Summary: Whale rider and Once were warriors portray families who struggle to reconcile their Maori identity with life in twentieth-century Aotearoa/New Zealand. The two movies mirror one another in so far as the former features a Maori chieft struggling to prevent the loss of Maori culture within his rural tribal group while the latter follows a nuclear family struggling to reconcile its urban identity with its rural Maori roots. Both movies pit an image of the city as an urban ghetto associated with 'social deprivation and lack of traditional culture' against that of the country as site of 'Maori cultural identity and salvation' (Spooner 2001: 95). The task of reconciling both falls to women who must undergo symbolical and/or actual death before being reborn as leaders. Though both movies conclude on a hopeful note, the path to reconciliation they suggest points 'to a contradiction which continues unresolved in practical reality' (Webster 1998: 39) and fails to address issues inherent in the concept of Maoritanga'

Charting their emergence and subsequent development through five decades, New Zealand Film and Television: Institution, Industry and Cultural Change examines these two increasingly vibrant cultural and creative industries. Whilst there is a growing body of academic work on the film and television productions which have originated in New Zealand, relatively little exists that examines the specific cultural concerns, institutional objectives, policy directives, and industry practices that have shaped these productions. New Zealand Film and Television: Institution, Industry and Cultural Change aims to fill this gap."-BOOK BLURBNotes: includes glossary of Maori terms; includes bibliographical references; includes indexISBN: 9781841504575Contents: -- List of Illustrations -- Acknowledgements -- Glossary of Maori Terms -- List of Abbreviations -- Introduction -- 1.

Out from nowhere : Pakeha anxieties in Ngati (Barclay, 1987), Once were warriors (Tamahori, 1994) and Whale rider (Caro, 2002) in Studies in Australasian cinema (2009) vol.3 iss.3 p.239-250
Author: Joyce, Hester PhysDes: ArticleSubject: INDUSTRY, FILM. NEW ZEALAND ; MAORI IN FILMS ; NATIONAL CULTURE AND THE CINEMA. NEW ZEALAND ; IMPERIALISM AND THE CINEMA ; NGATI (NZ, Barry Barclay, 1987) ; ONCE WERE WARRIORS (NZ, Lee Tamahori, 1994) ; WHALE RIDER (NZ/GG, Niki Caro, 2002) Summary: This article explores the development of New Zealand cinema as one of unease, as reflective of the disintegration of the utopian dream inherent in the founding settler era. It examines three films from consecutive decades, Ngati (Barclay, 1987), Once Were Warriors (Tamahori, 1994) and Whale Rider (Caro, 2002), and compares representations of Maori as illustrative of Pakeha (white settler) anxieties about Maori/Pakeha relations. It argues that while Ngati and Once Were Warriors contain elements of postcolonial critique, Whale Rider returns to a model of segregation, invoking spirituality of Maori as nostalgia for a lost utopian past. -- Abstract
