The new issue dividing our capital
- The Wellingtonista
- First it was "Bret or Jermaine?" then "Smash Malice or Brutal Paegent?" but now it's time for the really big decision - which Facebook group to join - "Hey, let's NOT have a 'Wellywood' sign in Wellington"or "A WELLYWOOD sign on the Miramar Cutting Hill is a STUPID idea"?

Hold Still - 24 June, Film Archive
- Texture
- The new sound and video installation ‘Hold Still’ opened to much flurry and intrigue on Wednesday evening. The work which is situated in the Film Archive’s Mediagallery space is both poignant and charming; as artist Rachel Shearer does an extraordinary job at showcasing the work of amateur female film-makers during the 1930’s in New Zealand.

You’re Soaking It In – 3 June, Film Archive
- Texture
- Nineties television’s Philip Alpers voice was comforting, soothing and somewhat disturbing. The various attempts at one-liners and puns were cringe-worthy, but made for a good slice of nostalgia. You’re Soaking it In was a documentary made for TV1 back in 1994 and was a large piece of nostalgia in itself as it traced New Zealand’s TV advertising right back to the un-politically correct days on the 1960s.

48 Hours: Furious Film making
- Texture
- This weekend marks the 6th time 48 Hours has been held. What is 48 hours you might ask? Basically, a whole bunch of film makers, both experienced and amateur, organised and chaotic turn up at various locations around New Zealand this Friday night, are given a genre, and maybe some other mysterious factors to include, and are let loose to make a film and hand it in 48 hours later. This year there are more than 600 entries, so the mind boggles as to how many people in total are participating.

Furious Filmmaking
- The Wellingtonista
- Registration for this year's 'V' 48 Hours Furious Filmmaking competition closes in only 8 days and organisers are once again looking (somewhat apprehensively) at a record-breaking number of entries. 2007 saw more than 120 teams take part in the Wellington region alone, and this year extra capacity has been made available so no one will get turned away.
