30 Years Of NZ Short Film 1980-2010

“Everything And The Kitchen Sink” 30 Years Of NZ Short Film 1980-2010

The first of four screenings celebrating 30 years of NZ short films begins next Tuesday (15th) at the outdoor bar of the award winning Sale St Bar in Auckland.

Restauranteur Luke Dallow (Sale St/ Chapel Bar & Bistro) has joined forces with filmhead Ant Timpson to present SALE ST SHORTS; a series of cinema-gastronomical excitement.

Presented in Association with SKY’s Rialto Channel and the New Zealand Film Commission, the series will celebrate thirty years (1980-2010) of the greatest NZ short films ever made. Patrons will watch short films on a big outdoor screen as they feast on award winning food and imbibe on a selection of NZ’s fine wines and Sale St’s fine micro-brewed beers.

The show gets underway from Feb 15th, with shorts screening every Tuesday for four weeks. Over 40 shorts will screen in the series beginning with the most successful NZ short of all time Alison Maclean’s creepy and surreal KITCHEN SINK (1989) and ending with one of the funniest, Radar’s hilariously dead pan & depraved THE JOURNEY (2004). Award winning directors include Harry Sinclair, Taika Cohen, Ellory Elkayem, Jane Shearer, Jason Stutter, Steve Ayson, Jane Campion, Adam Stevens and many many more.
