{"product_id":"contemporary-new-zealand-cinema-ian-conrich-9781845118372","title":"Contemporary New Zealand Cinema: From New Wave to Blockbuster","description":"\u003cp\u003eSince New Zealand Cinema burst on to the global stage in the late 1970s, it has maintained a high-profile presence, capturing the imagination and enthusiasm of both national and international audiences, through such films as \"Vigil\", \"Whale Rider\" and \"The Lord of the Rings\" trilogy. \"Contemporary New Zealand Cinema\" provides an astute and definitive analysis of this fascinating industry. Focusing on industrial and commercial concerns, questions of aesthetics and form, and the cultural debates surrounding nation and identity, the book surveys the full range of filmmaking in New Zealand.It displays the rich diversity of film production in the country, and in doing so highlights a number of specific contexts - Maori, documentary and short filmmaking, literary adaptations, the development of the national Film Commission and Archive, marketing and censorship, in addition to explorations into the place of bicultural relations, spirituality, masculinity and disability - that have created a cinema of global significance.\u003cbr\u003eFeaturing critical accounts of internationally-acclaimed features like \"The Piano\" and \"Once Were Warriors\", as well as the growth of the national infrastructure that made such films possible, \"Contemporary New Zealand Cinema\" is the most thorough study available of a vibrant filmmaking culture. The book also includes a fully comprehensive filmography detailing all New Zealand feature and television films.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ian Conrich\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1845118375\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781845118372\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/15\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2009","brand":"Ian Conrich","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48088878088447,"sku":"9781845118372","price":35.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7d81feb2-ec34-4760-b2e8-0594fa08be8a.jpg?v=1769107039","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/contemporary-new-zealand-cinema-ian-conrich-9781845118372","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
