12:39 New Zealand Film Awards
On December the 12th, the New Zealand Film Awards celebrate
one of the best ever years for cinema features, documentaries, TV movies and
short films – not to mention the Hobbit finale. Simon Morris talks to producer
Tainui Stevens and writer/director/actor Fiona Samuel about the winners and
losers in the award nominations, why they’re important, and why it’s been such
a fantastic year on the big and small screen.

2:49 Drowned World
Curator Daniel Michael Satele wants us all to think more
about water. So he’s put together an exhibition of works about water and called
it The Drowned World. Named for novelist JG Ballard’s dystopian sixties
classic, the exhibition is an online, interactive experience which will
hopefully make us question our understanding of this most precious resource.
Because, Daniel suspects, we might be getting it all wrong.
3.05 The Drama Hour
The return of Encore – The Story Of New Zealand Theatre.
We’re up to act eleven: feminist theatre begins to tell stories of women, and
the actor’s union springs into action. We have the short play You Say Hawaii.
And Bardfest gives us a monologue from Henry The Fifth.
