New Zealand Films and Soundtracks - December 2008 Update
NZVideos.org
Three more books have been added to the books section. The first major study of the films of Barry Barclay is the theme of 'Images of Dignity' by Stuart Murray. Twelve New Zealand cinematographers are featured in 'Shot in New Zealand', where these talented essential members of the film community are examined. Although the previous two books will probably appeal to a limited audience, the third book will appeal to anyone interested in film - especially New Zealand film. 'Thirty Years of New Zealand Film - A Coming of Age', by Duncan Petrie and Duncan Stuart presents 30 feature films released between 1977 and 2007. It is loaded with illustrations and even includes a dvd of 25 trailers. Thought you might like knowing that 'Second-Hand Wedding' now has a page, with links to reviews and a video Interview with actors Geraldine Brophy and Holly Shanahan. A new source for online purchasing of New Zealand feature films, and documentaries, is Screenline. They are adding titles weekly and now have over 100 currently available. Most of these are PAL zone 4, so most stand-alone machines in the U.S. are not going to be able to play them. However, with an appropriate shareware program installed, PAL zone 4 will play on computer dvd players or writers. Screenline is also taking pre-orders on eight titles that will be released 14 January, 2009. Included within the eight are three that have never before been available on dvd - 'Angel Mine', 'Ngati' and 'Sylvia'. All eight wil be coded PAL all zones. This means that many folks in the U.S. will only be able to play them on their computer dvd player, since most stand-alone dvd players, sold in the states, will only play ntsc discs. If you like New Zealand and Australian movies, get yourself an all regions/zone free ntsc/pal dvd player. You can get a reliable one for about $100us, although you will pay more when extra features and proven high reliability is included. More later on this great programme from the New Zealand Film Commission in which, during 2009, they will be releasing 60 titles to dvd, all to be PAL all zone and selling for $20nz, many for the first time. For further details on these and other New Zealand feature films and their soundtracks, including the best single-source for New Zealand feature film trailers and mp3 soundtrack samples, go to: http://www.nzvideos.org/ Cheers, Charles NOTE: NZVideos.org is a non-commerical informational website, without advertising or popups. |
