The birth of the film festival http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=36931 The annual Wellington Film Festival, which opens today for its 40th anniversary year, was born out of the film society movement. In 1970 when I was elected president of the Wellington Film Society, I was also programmer for New Zealand’s 50 film societies. (I was a television journalist with plenty of spare time for extra activities.) For the film societies, I had to organise an annual season of films, all to be screened from 16mm prints. But many new titles were available only on 35mm prints, and in those days film societies didn’t have access to 35mm projection. localhistory cinema media Fri, 29 Jul 2011 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=36931 Wellington Scoop 2011-07-29T00:00:00Z Too much information, too much money http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=32760 transmissiongully heritagebuildings transport localhistory media Fri, 11 Mar 2011 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=32760 Wellington Scoop 2011-03-11T00:00:00Z -41.1507564 174.8457942 Transmission Gully Motorway, Kenepuru, Porirua, Porirua City, Wellington, 5022, New Zealand What will we do to save Cuba Street? http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=32525 cubastreet heritagebuildings places localhistory media Tue, 08 Mar 2011 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=32525 Wellington Scoop 2011-03-08T00:00:00Z -41.2937917 174.7754336 Cuba Street, Te Aro, Wellington, Wellington City, Wellington, 6011, New Zealand Losing our heritage: a 104-year-old building, abandoned and dilapidated http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=28122 It had the financial support of Prime Minister Sir Joseph Ward and in its glory days its history included being used as a church hall and a music studio. The scruffy, dilapidated building at 30 Arthur Street used to be the Boys’ Institute – built in 1906 by the same architect who designed the Wellington and Christchurch railway stations. heritagebuildings bypass earthquake-strengthening localhistory transport media Sat, 30 Oct 2010 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=28122 Wellington Scoop 2010-10-30T00:00:00Z A tale of two cities: the cost of strengthening earthquake-prone buildings http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=27518 heritagebuildings earthquake-strengthening localhistory media Sat, 11 Sep 2010 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=27518 Wellington Scoop 2010-09-11T00:00:00Z The fate of Fort Ballance http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=25647 miramar heritagebuildings places localhistory media Tue, 22 Jun 2010 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=25647 Wellington Scoop 2010-06-22T00:00:00Z -41.3133541 174.8196538 Miramar, Wellington, New Zealand Roads more important than heritage buildings, Transport Agency tells us http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=22269 The New Zealand Transport Authority has been astounding in its arrogance in a submission to the Wellington City Council about the heritage rules for residential property in the inner city neighbourhoods. heritagebuildings basinreserve localhistory transport media Fri, 12 Mar 2010 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=22269 Wellington Scoop 2010-03-12T00:00:00Z -41.30037055 174.7802503270504 Basin Reserve, Dufferin Street, Mount Victoria, Wellington, Wellington City, Wellington, 6021, New Zealand Doing the right thing for Thorndon http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=4758 The survival of the little narrow streets and the old houses of Thorndon is a miracle.
