Dear Leonard
25 MARCH 2021: OFFICIAL INFORMATION ACT REQUEST
In your email to the New Zealand Film Commission
(NZFC) dated 25 March 2021, you
requested the following information under the Official Information Act 1982
{OIA}:
1. I am currently collecting as many New Zealand films on dvd/bluray as possible but I
am having difficulty finding a comprehensive list of films filmed in New Zealand by
predominantly a New Zealand cast and crew. Do you have such a list I can access,
with information regarding whether a film had a DVD/Bluray release?
Answers to your questions are set out
below:
There are lists of feature films made in New Zealand on the NZFC website. Links to these
lists are here:
•
Feature Films Made in New Zealand (1939-2013)
•
Feature Films made in New Zealand (from 2013)
These lists are of feature films only and do not say whether they were filmed by
predominately a New Zealand cast or crew, or if they had a DVD or Bluray release. The NZFC
does not hold this information.
These lists comprise the films that the NZFC has been made aware of and we cannot confirm
that they are a complete list of al films made in New Zealand (e.g., there may be
independent films that have not been brought to the NZFC's attention).
Please note that it is not the NZFC's responsibility to keep a list of New Zealand films, or
to keep that list up to date.
Yours sincerely
Tayla Hancock
