On Monday night at Peter Jackson’s state-of-the-art cinema at Park Road Post in Miramar, Wellington, the Hon Chris Finlayson, Minister for Arts, Culture and Heritage, launched a fundraising campaign for the New Zealand Film Archive.
The Wellington-based Film Archive, which holds the largest collection of New Zealand’s moving image material, has run out of space for its extensive collections of film, television, and other film related items. It also holds hundreds of thousands of photographs, publications and papers providing a unique and priceless record of the history since the year 1896.
