Ans Westra: Private Journeys / Public Signposts
This insightful documentary features the work of acclaimed photographer Ans Westra, whose photographs of New Zealanders constitute a uniquely expressive record of who we are and have been. Luit Bieringa, first-time filmmaker and curator, intercepts her contemplative testimony with cordial interjections from friends, family and other well-informed admirers. Framed by a conversation with Hone Tuwhare, the film roundly acknowledges the progressive role her work played in '60s counterculture and in the cultural renaissance of Maori.
