The Dead Lands Film Talk

We’re excited to be hosting a special Q&A screening of The Dead Lands at Rialto Cinemas!

Synopsis: The Dead Lands joins the short list of screen tales set in Aotearoa, before the pākehā. James Rolleston (star of Boy) plays Hongi, the son of a Māori chief. After the massacre of his tribe, Hongi sets out into the forbidden Dead Lands, hoping to enlist the help of a legendary warrior (Lawrence Makoare). The Anglo-Kiwi co-production marks new screen territory for playwright turned director Toa Fraser (No. 2) and writer Glenn Standring (director of fantasy Perfect Creature). Now nominated for an Academy Award and following its debut at the 2014 Toronto Film Festival, the film arrives in NZ on October 30.

Here’s your chance to see it early!
