Homegrown 2006

Upcoming screenings at Homegrown 06

Homegrown Works on Film
Only a handful of films each year get support from the New Zealand Film Commission to produce a 35mm screening print. Of this year’s lucky few, the Moving Image Centre programmers judged these six the best.

This year’s selection is characterized by a boldness of vision in step with the tumult of the world beyond our shores. Films encompass dramatic themes of life, love, death and abandonment, but there is also scope for romance and forgiveness.

With the availability of high definition camera technology, shooting on digital video is no longer simply the cheap option but often the most artistically preferred.
There where over 150 submissions to this year’s video program, which is a testament both to the popularity of the medium and the difficulty if reaching final selection.

After years of strong documentary and dance films, this year’s submissions were dominated by drama, which has resulted in two video programmes. Works on Video offers an exciting blend of action, animation and comedy with a distinctly offbeat sensibility.
