THE GIFT
JOHN KING
New Zealand / 1987 / 27'

New Zealand gives us its richly multicoloured world: pointed mountains, snow-capped hills, erupting volcanoes and fumaroles, plus travelling shots of old villages inhabited by the last natives and roads with lines of traffic. Yet it is easy to find paradise in the forests, in the rivers full of fish, among the tourists playing on the grass, in the torrents where canoeists are engaged, among the skiers shooting down unending slopes and others being taken back up by helisky. Nautical skiers satisfy their whims on the sea. The cameraman has really shown us everything in this faraway country of the southern continent.
