I’ve just seen the news that filmmaker Barry Barclay has passed away. 63 is no sort of age really.
Ngati was one of the first NZ films I ever saw and it left a great impression on me.
He will be missed.
Dom-Post film reviewer Graeme Tuckett has almost completed a documentary for Maori TV on Barry’s life and work which I expect will also screen at the Festival this year.
Ngati is wonderful. So was Feathers of Peace in a different way.
