Land of the Long White Cloud: An experimental documentary by Florian Habicht.
(NZ, 2009, M - Exempt, 75 mins)

Having caught the Far North at play in Kaikohe Demolition, local boy turned film maker Florian Habicht returned to film the locals once more, this time fishing at the ‘Snapper Classic’ – the worlds largest Snapper fishing contest.

Land of the Long White Cloud, a must see piece of Kiwiana, explores the minds and hearts of the fishermen and women as they compete for $50,000 for the biggest catch, and battle it out with a Northland storm.

“The amiable atmosphere of tolerance and unpretentious philosophising is so salty and true and rousing that you could bottle it, call it Kiwiade, and sell it by the crateload to homesick expatriates.”  - Bill Gosden, New Zealand International Film Festival.
