As the Film Festival heads out of Auckland, the Academy opens its own 3-week music film festival on 28 July. Striking up the band first will be Simon Mark-Brown’s documentary The Sun Came Out.
This stunning new film is an intimate, behind the scenes look as Neil Finn invites world class musicians – Johnny Marr, KT Tunstal, Bic Runga, Don McGlashan, members of Radiohead, Wilco and others – to New Zealand to write and record an album for the charity Oxfam and put on some live shows, all within a very tight time frame.
