Very Short Films

Flying Nun presents its very first DVD titled "Very Short Films". It contains a mammoth 41 videos produced for Flying Nun Records artists from 2004 back to 1981. The total running time has been pegged at around two and half hours, which is feature length in the film world. A lot of the video films feature the bands 'performing' direct to camera (with and without makeup), several of them have driving motifs, and plenty of 'em were made with extremely limited resources. Despite all this, the creativity and ingenuity on display is incredible and demonstrates a healthy progression of video-making in New Zealand over the last twenty odd years. Artists include; The Clean, Gordons, Verlaines, The Chills, The Bats, Tall Dwarfs, Straitjacket Fits, Headless Chickens, J.P.S. Experience and Bailterspace.
