Film Review: Waru (2017) By Briar Grace-Smith Charm, Casey Kaa, Ainsley Gardiner, Katie Wolfe, Chelsea Cohen, Renae Maihi, Paula Jones, Awanui Simich-Pene
Unmissable and compelling this brave Maori sisterhood movie is a precious occasion to feel the force coming from a community that is often neglected, and not just in terms of cinematic visibility.

The film was released last summer in New Zealand with the aid of the New Zealand Film Commission and was picked up straight away by the prestigious Toronto International Film Festival. It has consequently generated a buzz and is making its way within the festival circuit.

“Waru” is screening at Aperture: Asia & Pacific Film Festival

Some explanations are needed. “Waru” is the collective effort of 8 (actually 9 as one is a joined work) woman Maori filmmakers who were asked by producers Kerry Warkia and Kiel McNaughton to follow a set of strict rules; their 8 short films had to be shot in one single take of exactly 10 minutes, in real time, all set at 10am of the day of a...

Plans Unveiled for $67 Million Film and TV Studio in Liverpool
With studio space at a premium in the U.K., a major new development is being planned for Liverpool in northern England. Twickenham Studios and property developer Capital&Centric unveiled plans Thursday for the £50 million ($67 million) project, which has been dubbed Littlewoods Studios.

Using the art deco buildings once occupied by defunct British department store and football gambling company Littlewoods, plus surrounding land, the development will feature two 20,000-square-foot sound stages as well as workshops, prop storage, and office space.

The developers own the Littlewoods buildings and need planning permission for the project. The plan is for Twickenam Studios, the base for “Blade Runner” and countless other big features, to become the first anchor tenant, providing it with a base in the north of England to complement its existing base in southwest London.

“Liverpool’s architecture, accessibility and can-do attitude sees filmmakers return to the city time and time again,...

Film & TV Studio Set To Open In UK City Of Liverpool After $70M Refurb Of Iconic Littlewoods Building
London’s Twickenham Studios is teaming up with property developer Capital & Centric to launch Littlewood Studios, a new film and TV hub in the northern UK city of Liverpool.

Regeneration specialist Capital & Centric bought the iconic art-deco Littlewoods building in 2017 and now London studio Twickenham, which has hosted movies including Blade Runner, The Italian Job, Gandhi and more recently The Martian and Baby Driver as well as TV series such as Black Mirror and McMafia, has agreed to a deal to become the hub’s first anchor tenant by taking over 85,000 square feet of the 300,000 square foot building.

As part of a long-gestating concept, the building is to get a $67M (£50M) refurb including two new 20,000 square foot sound stages, workshops, wardrobe and prop storage, and offices, ahead of a potential 2020 opening.

The building is the former HQ of one-time UK retail and soccer betting giant Littlewoods. Founded in 1923 and going strong until the 1980s,...

[Berlin Review] The Patriarch
Halfway through The Patriarch (Mahana), young Simeon (Akuhata Keef) is enjoying a trip to the cinema that he’s fought hard for. His grandfather, Tamihana (Temuera Morrison), who rules undisputed over his extended Maori family, sees him as insubordinate and certainly would prefer the kids don’t “waste money on make-believe.” But Simeon loves westerns, and a town screening of 3:10 to Yuma is too good to pass up. Yet even Glenn Ford and Van Eflin’s march towards that train platform is derailed by intrusions from the real world, with a member of a rival family riding a horse into the cinema and an unexpected kiss opening up new perspectives in the ensuing confusion.

It’s a brief moment of autobiographical fun for director Lee Tamahori, who sprinkles bits of his own New Zealand upbringing on top of this adaptation of Witi Ihimaera’s novel Bulibasha: King of the Gypsies.

Watch: Sci-Fi Short Film Mis-Drop
Every once in a while, a film comes along that proves you don’t need a big budget to get a good result. Gareth Edwards did it to spectacular effect with Monsters, launching a career that has seen Edwards return this year with his epic blockbuster follow-up, Godzilla.

The sci-fi genre is one of the hardest to pull off on a low budget, largely because of the visual effects concerns. In spite of the obstacles facing him, however, New Zealand director Ferand Peek had an idea and saw it through to completion, resulting in the sci-fi short, Mis-drop.

300 years in the future, a forensic accountant reviews the video stream from one mercenary’s drop-pod which has been damaged during the initial stages of a colonial invasion.

Elliot Travers stars as the soldier in the lead, joined by Maria Walker, Larry Rew, and Joseph Sherman-Mendez.

Peek is firing on all cylinders here,...
