From AEFF 2007 :
"Four emerging filmmaking talents from Otago are jumpstarting theircareers at Reel Earth - the Aotearoa Environmental Film Festival. "These four newcomers are set to make an impression, two have already won awards in a competitive field" says Festival director Brent Barrett.
All four have recently emerged from Otago University's Natural History Filmmaking Course run by professor Lloyd Davis, and enjoyed a sold out premiere in Dunedin.
First up is top award winner Katie McSweeney with her film "Bluffed",which takes a clear look at the world's most famous bed of oysters,pealing back the sheets of denial put forward by industry and regulators....
"We're pleased to also host the first runner-up Louise Davidson" says Barrett. Louise and her partner Sarah Cowhey recently took out the award for their creative animated documentary 'A Moment of Clarity...' that explores the mind and madness inside one of New Zealand's top backcountry killers - the rat.
Rounding out the top place-getters are visits from Jinty MacTavish and Pip Walls....
This quartet of emerging talent is joined by maverick Australian filmmaker David Bradbury who travels to Palmerston North from the Gold Coast to introduce the New Zealand premiere of his award winning 2007 film 'A Hard Rain'......
The Festival opens in Palmerston North at the end of July, and is set to tour nation wide. The Festival is online at www.aeff.org.nz, and is supported by Creative Communities New Zealand, the Palmerston North City Environmental Trust, and Eastern & Central Community Trust."
