To celebrate the World Day for Audiovisual Heritage, welcome to Archives New Zealand's Rustic Cinema. For your viewing pleasure, we have curated four programmes with film excerpts from the National Film Unit and other government agencies which showcase how we saw ourselves and how we wanted the world to see us.
"Every Animal Picture" Duration: 26mins.
Need a pick-me-up? We’re bringing you a session so purrrfectly cuddly, it’s like it's been wrapped up in your favourite blanket. No bull, we have a dancing cow and a swimming sow; an exhausted mum landing NZ on the world stage; cycle safety with Charlie the Chimp; a farmer, 5 dogs and 3 sheep manage to trap themselves into a small pen; and a fashion show sponsored by the sheep of Aotearoa.
