Kiwi screen legend Cliff Curtis has been honoured at the Asia Pacific Screen Awards for his decades-long career spent in front of and behind the camera.
At a star-studded ceremony on Australia’s Gold Coast on Saturday night, the prolific Māori film-maker received the prestigious International Federation of Film Producers Associations’ (FIAPF) Award, recognising outstanding achievement in film.
Curtis told Stuff the honour was a huge surprise, and he was humbled to represent the Kiwi film-making community, especially in telling indigenous stories.
