Film Screening: Kiwi Animation

Independent filmmaker, curator and writer Martin Rumsby, presents a screening series of historic and contemporary independent New Zealand films as part of a collaboration with the Depot Artspace and Satellite Gallery (le petit cinema), on their Night Gallery project.

Kiwi Animation features visually inventive and sophisticated animations by local film artists by Miriam Harris, Jill Kennedy, Raewyn Turner, Dan Inglis, James Robinson and others. This event will include artist appearances and surprise screenings and guests.

About the curator, Martin Rumsby:
Martin Rumsby has long been associated with experimental film. In the early 1980s he set up independent screenings in cafes and art galleries throughout New Zealand. He also established an independent film distribution service and annual national touring film programmes.

In 1985 Rumsby was the recipient of an Air New Zealand/Arts Council Travel Award to North America. Rumsby purchased 35 New Zealand films and for the next ten years toured his film programmes through North American media arts centres, universities and art galleries. The further he travelled the more films he bought, returning to New Zealand every three years to screen North American avant-garde films.
