This two-part collection coincides with New Zealand Book Month to celebrate NZ books and authors on screen.

Part one features screen adaptations of NZ literature. A roll-call of classic Kiwi screen and teleplays has come from books: An Angel at My Table, Came a Hot Friday, Once Were Warriors, The Quiet Earth, Sleeping Dogs, Whale Rider, Rain, In My Father's Den, Under the Mountain, and many more ...

Part two features writers on screen: iconic Aotearoa authors who have been celebrated, and found new readers, through being documented on screen.

In an introductory essay, journalist, broadcaster (The Good Word), and ex-Listener editor Finlay Macdonald explores the close relationship between page and screen; musing upon their shared origin in, “the little thing from which so much else flows – the written word.”

Enjoy!
