NZFA SCREENING
AUCKLAND:
DREAMS AND DYSTOPIA
WOES AND WONDERS
COMPILED 2013
55 MINS
first 30 mins SILENT
This screening celebrates and sees Auckland, the
Queen's city, repository of dreams and broken policies and since 1900 New Zealand's biggest metropolis.
From the race-day finery at the 1912 Auckland Cup in Ellerslie, a fun-park on the shores of Parnell in the swinging twenties, an AA roadside call out for a 1920s Austin A7, a brand new railway station in Parnell, the last tram, and traffic jams, fun in the sun, and the ponsonby slums, to new state housing, construction of the bridge to join the North and South shores of the Waitemata, to anti-Apartheid protests at Eden Park to the first ever bungy-jump
off said Harbour Bridge.
