Deborah Shepard: Reframing Women - A History of New Zealand Film

(HarperCollins $59.95)

Review: Gilbert Wong

Shepard conducted 61 interviews with female film-makers, from the little-known Margaret Thomson right up to new directors such as Christina Jeffs and Sima Urale.

The banishing to the periphery of Gaylene Preston and Jane Campion, was presumably intentional, though I found it odd.
