THE ON DISK SECONDARY SCHOOLS DVD LIBRARY
EXPANDED MENU AND NEW SUPPORT MATERIALS FOR 2009
!
!
Film Archive education programmes provide source material for effective learning experiences in New Zealand secondary
classrooms. ON DISK programmes support teachers and students in English, Media Studies, History, Geography, Social
Studies and The Arts.
!
Eleven new titles and one reconstructed title have been produced in 2008. New and redeveloped titles have been listed first
in the subject menus that follow. Further titles will also be added during 2009 so it would prove useful for teachers to
bookmark their subject pages from the ON DISK website to keep up with new developments. The library titles are essentially
multi-chaptered, multi-menued DVD packages using source material from the many genre in New Zealand film & television.
No attempt has been made to alter the images or their message.
!
Coupled with the new disk library are extra components appearing on our Education web pages. The package available with
each ON DISK title web listing will include online teacher’s booklet, and in many cases one of a growing collection of online
units and support materials written and tested by teachers that directly align ON DISK content with the New Zealand
Curriculum. ON DISK titles that have online support material attached or material under production for 2009 release, have
an indicator included in the programme status box next to their title in the subject menus.
!
The ON DISK service is absolutely free (no hire fee or postage levy), and when ordering online teachers can expect a
package to arrive anywhere in New Zealand within 48 hours. The loan period is up to four weeks and renewal can be
obtained (subject to availability) simply by notifying ondisk@nzfa.org.nz before the due return date. A maximum 4 titles can
be borrowed at any one time.

Māori Filmmakers (3 disks)
!
NEW TITLE 2009
Total Duration: 360 minutes
! !
!
PART ONE: THE NON-MĀORI LENS: ‘He’ who controls the camera controls the
image. Until the early 1970s, with the exception of Ramai Hayward, there were no
Māori controlling the camera. Because of this vacuum, and the exotic
marketability of creating films with Māori content, it was non-Māori that made
films about Māori. Therefore, to understand Māori Filmmaking it is necessary to
see examples of what went before it, and how Māori content and stereotypes were dealt with historically.
PART TWO: RANGATIRA: This DVD looks at the works of the first wave of Māori filmmakers - Barry Barclay, Merata Mita,
Don Selwyn, Larry Parr and Lee Tamahori. Their remarkable achievements in documentary, feature films and television
drama did much to address decades of misrepresentation of their people with content that ranged from the polemic to the
mainstream. The non-Māori lens becomes a Māori lens imbued with a unique world view and oral storytelling tradition.
PART THREE: RANGATAHI: What is a Māori Filmmaker? Does a Māori Filmmaker only make films about Māori? Does a
Māori filmmaker only have Māori crew? Or, does a Māori filmmaker bring a different outlook to the process? In other words,
is it Content, Crew or Kaupapa, or all three? What of Pākeha working with Māori content? The last DVD in the series looks
at these debates as well as examples of work from rangitahi, the more recent wave of Māori filmmakers.

Representations of Pasifika (2 disks)!
!
NEW TITLE 2009 / ONLINE SUPPORT MATERIALS IN PREPARATION
2009 / Total Duration: 321 minutes
!
!
PART ONE: This disk looks at ’Pacific People as the Exotic Other’ and ‘Pacific
People as Immigrants’, the way Pacific People have been represented within film
and television media. Early Government footage portrays Pacific Islanders as
dependant, savage, unsophisticated, erotic and exotic. These stereotypes were
continued into the next century as migration from the islands to New Zealand increased. Highlights include: the 1976 BBC
documentary on the Cook Islands ‘Beauty is in the Eye’; the infamous National Party Election Advertising from 1975
attacking Pacific Islanders for making the ‘cities unsafe’; and news coverage of the furor surrounding Folole Muliaga’s death
when her power supply was cut off over an unpaid bill.
PART TWO: This disk looks at Pacific People as New Zealanders - the way Pacific People are represented in contemporary
film and television media. While Pacific Island culture has become popularized in New Zealand some controversy remains
around continuing stereotypes. Highlights include: a 1990s Levenes advertisement portraying Pacific Islanders as ‘colourful’;
an extract from Pacific Beat Street showing behind the scenes footage of the making of ‘Bro Town’; Beatrice Faumuina in
dancing with the Stars; and footage from Media 7 showing the studio debate between Tim Pankhust, Barbara Dreaver and
Oscar Knightly discussing Greg Clydesdale’s comment that Pacific Islanders were a ’drain on the economy’.
-5-New Zealand Television: Television News
!
NEW TITLE 2008/9
Total Duration: 211 minutes
!
!
Television news is a primary source of information for many people and therefore
provides an essential service in a democracy, where in order to participate you
have to be informed. Just what, and also importantly how that information is
conveyed does help set the agenda for what is deemed important in a society.
Television News has changed massively since the early 1960s and this DVD gives students the opportunity to chart this
change and question whether society is being well served by today’s news values. This DVD is a collection of extracts from
television news, and programmes about television news and current affairs since the early 1960s. The DVD can be viewed
in isolation or as part of a wider study encompassing the other New Zealand Television titles - Media Issues and Public
Service and Commercial Television.
!
!
New Zealand Television: Public Service & Commercial Television
!
NEW TITLE 2008/9
Total Duration: 138 minutes
!
!
Public Service broadcasting has its origins with Lord Reith, the first Director
General of the BBC in the 1920s and 30s. ‘Reithianism’ is the notion that
broadcasting is for the public good and therefore has an emphasis on ‘quality,’
informing and educating as well as entertaining. Commercial television, on the
other hand, has an emphasis on entertainment first - a market-centred approach that gives audiences what they want as
measured by ratings. Today Public Service broadcasting is deemed to be a rather quaint concept in our commercial age but
is a concept worthy of study in order to understand key concepts in media education. Fragmenting markets and new delivery
options challenge the very notion of broadcasting, and an informed discussion of the issues and history of Public Service
and commercial television will help debate the future and purpose of the medium. What has not changed is the importance
of the television to convey a version of the world to its audience - to inform, educate and entertain New Zealanders. The
DVD can be viewed in isolation or as part of a wider study encompassing the other New Zealand Television titles –
Television News and Media Issues.
!!
New Zealand Television: Media Issues
!
NEW TITLE 2008/9
Total Duration: 120 minutes
!
!
Mass media are our society’s storytellers whose fictional and non-fictional
narratives help us make sense of the world. The media issues on this DVD look at
some of the debates over this narrative power and point towards the necessity of
media literacy as a fundamental skill for citizens to negotiate mediascapes in the
21st century. Content includes: advertising; bias; dumbing down of news; media ownership; ratings; censorship; and news
values. The DVD can be viewed in isolation or as part of a wider study encompassing the other New Zealand Television
titles – Television News and Public Service & Commercial Television.
