Have a look at this marvellous new website.
Among other attractions, the site features rare documentary footage of Janet Frame.
It's from a 1975 interview Michael Noonan did with Janet Frame for a doco marking International Women's Year.

Lots of other stuff there relevant to NZ writing.

Another Janet Frame documentary has been posted on the NZ On Screen site: Wrestling with the Angel.
While not in full, there are 3 excerpts from this documentary on the site.
Synopsis:
A documentary about author Janet Frame based on the eponymous 2000 biography by Michael King. It travels through the well-known themes of Frame's biography - her alleged mental illness, family tragedies, overseas stays, how she began writing - but presents new insights through interviews with close friends and key figures. Michael King provided most of the research for the film and he provides an often-amusing account of Frame's life. This is notably King's last interview for film; he was killed in a car accident in 2005.
