Education Minister Steve Maharey today launched a new library of DVDs of New Zealand film and television to help secondary schools teach the new school curriculum.
Mr Maharey said the new On Disk library would give students new insight into events that shaped New Zealand's culture and identity over the last century.
On Disk was developed by the Film Archive and Ministry of Education and will be free to all secondary schools. It included 75 hours of excerpts from New Zealand films, documentaries, advertisements and current affairs programmes over the past 100 years.
"This resource draws from a huge range of iconic images and clips, that describe New Zealand's history, identity and unique place in the world," Mr Maharey said.
