| Summary |
When she made Mauri, Merata Mita became the first Mori woman to direct, write, and produce a feature film. Mauri (meaning life force), is loosely set around a love triangle and explores cultural tensions, identity, and a changing way of life in a dwindling East Coast town. As with Barry Barclay's Ngati, Mauri played a key role in the burgeoning Mori screen industry; the production team numbered 33 Mori and 20 Pkeh, including interns from Hawkes Bay wnanga. NZ art icon Ralph Hotere helmed the production design; Mori activist Eva Rickard played kuia Kara. |
