How can schools teach New Zealand film
A useful way into teaching New Zealand film
I’ve been looking through the New Zealand Film Commission’s school study guides, and the resource for Red, White & Brass seems particularly practical for Years 7 - 10. It gives students ways into identity, belonging, Tongan language and values, family history, visual composition, and reviewing without treating the film as just a worksheet exercise. I reckon resources like this can make local film feel much more teachable.
