A light among shadows, 2007
Michael Heath’s film tells the story of Edith Collier, one of New Zealand’s most talented yet underrated artists (1885-1964). Told with sensitivity and respect, it includes much of her extraordinarily beautiful work. It is not only a fitting eulogy to a remarkable artist, but an affecting tale of cultural identity and rejection. Additional music by Richard Nunns.
The Waimate Conspiracy, 2006 Written and directed by Stefen Lewis
Very entertaining, often hilarious no-budget mock documentary about a fictional land rights claim.
