SUMMARY:Interference - campaign closes
DESCRIPTION:1980s New Zealand\, where being gay means hiding in plain sight and local homophobes\, backed by the Far Right churches of Reagan’s America\, are hell bent on destroying any liberal fantasies of change. With money and power behind them\, they wage open warfare on New Zealanders fighting for their right to be different. \nIt was brutal\, it was dangerous\, at times it was funny as hell … and it changed our nation forever. \nThere’s no director in the country who can tell this story with more passion and authenticity. Welby Ings (Punch\, Sparrow\, Boy) knows the story intimately. In the early 80s\, he started his small town’s three person pressure group\, Gay Rights of Taihape. Arrested several times and with his teaching career under threat\, he threw himself into the national campaign\, protesting\, infiltrating and interfering as much as possible with the opposition.

Their work deserves to be seen and we can achieve this with your help.\nFriendship. Love. Family.

SUMMARY:By the Skin of Her Teeth\, campaign closes
DESCRIPTION:A 25-minute film centered around two female politicians\, leading rival parties\, as they await the results of the New Zealand election. To pass the time\, they reflect on their competitiveness\, sacrifices made\, and backlash they faced leading up to the day. One is younger and more optimistic – often getting criticized for her lack of experience and grit\, and the other is older and stauncher – often getting criticized for being past her use-by date\, and too aggressive. \nThis film is a love letter to Kiwi women in politics\, and explores the lengths they’re pushed to go\, as they navigate their way through a male-dominated profession.
