It Came From The Swamp: Short Films From The Waikato

Seven short films made in the Waikato will soon screen at The New Zealand Film Archive in Wellington as part of a national tour.

The seven films are:

'Retribution' directed by Paul Tilling. A story of love and revenge set in imperial France - coming to a cinema near you.

'Clean as a whistle' directed by Sarah Rosser. A quirky musical with a psychological edge.

'Swing' directed by Dawn Tuffery. An environmentally conscious animation about a little guy and his swing. (This film played at the New Zealand International Film Festival.)

'Betty Banned Sweets' directed by Michelle Savill. Set in Hamilton, a young man finds it difficult to leave home. (This film played at the Brisbane and Melbourne International Film Festivals.)

'Spit Takes' directed by Chris Tan. The comedic art of the spit gag, explained for beginners.

'Meat' directed by Joe Citizen. Vampires and blood a-plenty, this spectacular film was shot at Matangi.

'Dark Priest' directed by Sasha Nixon. The story of a vigilante priest who struggles between his conscience and the evils of the world.

The compilation has been rated R13 by the office of the censor, as it contains some scenes of horror and violence. DVDs will be available to purchase at $30 each.
