drcuriosityThanks to a heads-up from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rikan_feral, I bring you NZ On Screen. Developed under the auspices of the NZ On Air broadcasting promotion/funding body, it's a which showcases a lot of what has been made in New Zealand in terms of film (feature and short) and television. It's a slick site, and I'm impressed by the breadth of content that's available too.
It's also positive to see that, where possible, content has been made available under a Creative Commons licence. Granted, there's a lot of it that's simply licensed for streaming by various copyright holders and industry associations, but it's a heartening sight to see all the same.
In any case, here's a few of my more interesting finds:
Tongan Ninja [martial arts parody]
Maddigan's Quest [post-apocalyptic children's drama]
Mirror Mirror [time-travelling children's drama]
The Quiet Earth [sci-fi film about the last(?) man on Earth]
Bad Taste [what Peter Jackson did before Lord of the Rings]
Sleeping Dogs [1977 film about a fascist government rising to power in New Zealand, branding their opponents as terrorists]
Georgie Girl [documentary about our first transgendered member of parliament]
Footrot Flats: A Dog's Tail Tale [animated feature of one of New Zealand's best known comic strips]
We've done some good stuff over the years.
