In the upcoming New Zealand International Film Festival CIRCUIT presents Place un-making, a screening of nine New Zealand artist works curated by Janine Randerson and Mark Williams. While contemporary New Zealand artists are often called on to engage in ‘place-making’ via public art projects and landscape film programmes, this collection finds the landscape tradition unraveling in a state housing sell-off, a legacy of stolen Taonga in Dusky Sound and the parched earth of the Chilean desert. Artists include: Dieneke Jansen, Janine Randerson, Alex Monteith, Shannon Te Ao, Phil Dadson, Tim Wagg, Andrew Denton, Layne Waerea and Martin Rumsby. Screenings confirmed for Auckland and Wellington, details TBC. Prolific writer, curator and film-maker Martin Rumsby has an article in the Spring edition of the New York-based Millenium Film Journal entitled The Ocean Is Our Prairie: Contemporary Maori & Pasifika Moving Image. Buy the journal here. To celebrate the publishing of Rumsby's article in the prestigious journal a programme of work by Tanya Ruka, Leilani Kake, Jeremy Leatinu'u, Johnson Witehira and others will screen in Manhattan and Brooklyn this June. The event will also feature an actor performing a related poetic text written by Rumsby. Screening dates TBC.
