Hilda Brodie Smith
Hilda Brodie Smith, of Porirua, wrote, directed and starred in a number of rather incredible documentaries during the 1960s. Her work was so distinctive and professional that she regularly won prizes in cine club competitions.
Hilda’s films have recently been restored by Ngā Taonga Sound & Vision and film conservator Richard Falkner talks about the process in this feature by Radio New Zealand.
