REKOHU | A Short Film on the Chatham Islands

Фильм және анимация

In February 2012 my girlfriend and I flew 800km east of Wellington to Kaingaroa, a small secluded village on the north eastern tip of the Chatham Islands. We were invited by the teaching principal of Kaingaroa Primary School to teach her pupils about filmmaking and music as forms of storytelling. This film was put together from various clips we took during the trip and gives a brief glimpse of what life is like in such a remote place.

    Beautiful culture. I wish the Moriori had lasted for ever and I hope it strengthens again and shows the world that peace is the best way to live

    Hi there, Kaingaroa Primary School! I visited your beautiful village last week and I can see why you love it so much. Your school looks amazing and I can see that you take such great care of it. Don't worry about not having McDonalds - when you get a bit older you will find out that crayfish and blue cod tastes waaaaaaaay better than a Big Mac or a Filet-o-Fish. Thank you for sharing your beautiful culture with me. I wish you all the best and every success in the future.

I have only just started to research about Moriori and gosh what a beautiful place, culture and way to live . ❤️
