A MESSAGE FROM IAN CONRICH IN LONDON -
BIGGEST EVER NEW ZEALAND FILM RETROSPECTIVE

Dear All,
Some of you may know that I have been curating a retrospective of
NZ cinema for an international film festival in Wroclaw, Poland, 17-27 July
2008.
This will be the biggest retrospective of NZ film ever, with 34
features (more than one tenth of all NZ feature films) and 46 shorts
screening. In addition, 10 NZ filmmakers will be flying in to the festival -
with the filmmakers attending (just one left to confirm): Vincent Ward,
Roger Donaldson, Gaylene Preston, Christine Parker, Peter Wells,(pic left), Oscar Kightley, Donogh Rees, David Blyth, Leon Narbey, and Rob Sarkies.

The festival will include introductions to screenings, and a panel discussion on NZ film. Craig Potton will present a photographic display, and there will be
performances from Shonagh McCullough, Moana and the Tribe, Pitch Black, and
Manaia.

Please forgive the Polish-English on this site which can be a little wobbly. The event is open
to the public.
The very best,
Ian
