Three New Zealand Films to Screen at Toronto International Film Festival “We are extremely pleased that such distinctive films have been selected to screen in Toronto this year,” says NZFC CEO Dave Gibson. “Nic Gorman’s debut feature is a skillfully crafted thriller set in a place few people ever see. And with Waru, there has not been a narrative feature film helmed by a Māori woman since Merata Mita’s Mauri in 1988. Having a film made by nine wahine Māori screening in Toronto feels like a positive step toward addressing this with the opportunities the festival can provide for these filmmakers.” Source Link Waru to open imagineNATIVE Waru has been selected to open the 2017 imagineNATIVE Film and Media Arts Festival, the world’s largest presenter of indigenous screen content. Waru, produced by Kerry Warkia and Kiel McNaughton, is an anthology feature film made up of eight 10-minute short films around the tangi (funeral) of a small boy named Waru who died at the hands of his caregiver. Each vignette is written and directed by Māori women filmmakers, writer/ directors Briar Grace-Smith, Casey Kaa, Ainsley Gardiner, Katie Wolfe, Renae Maihi, Chelsea Cohen and Paula Jones, director Awanui Simich-Pene and writer Josephine Stewart-Te Whiu. The film had its world premiere at the recent New Zealand International Film Festival and is preparing for its international premiere at the upcoming Toronto International Film Festival in September.

Sounds worth seeing! But I wont be seeing them. I havent been to TIFF since I was in my forties. I can no longer tolerate the flash, the hype and especially not the lineups- if you want to turn a even tempered, mild mannered person into a terrorist, put him in a line up. |
