It's all part of the shifting nature of New Zealand film. As Nanna Maria (Ruby Dee) says of the Fijian feast taking shape outside her suburban window, "Look at all that life...
...Nanna Maria isn't the only one taking notice. A hemisphere away in London, Ian Conrich, director of the newly established Centre for New Zealand Studies at the University of London, has been watching the new tide of Kiwi filmmakers with interest.

But for more than a decade, it has been sleepwalking as globalization transformed the business, bringing with it new markets, new consumers and new competitors. Producers from Australia, New Zealand, California, South Africa, Chile and elsewhere have launched massive - and often brilliantly executed - campaigns to promote their wines across the planet. They have ramped up production, introduced a new generation of consumers to inexpensive, fruity wines with labels that are easy to understand, and, in the process, run off with...
