The Maori of Aotearoa

The 24th Douarnenez Film Festival, Douarnenez

Dedicated to Indigenous Peoples throughout the world, the Film Festival of Douarnenez also reflects a strong commitment to its own local culture. It is based in Brittany, a part of France with a distinctive flavour and its own language.
In 2001, this warm hearted festival will set out to provide an understanding as deep as possible of the Maori's culture, history and aspirations

A selection of about 30 films, made by or about the Maori. Ranging from dramas to documentaries, short or long features, old films to the quite latest ones. Films that bear witness to the history, culture and creation of one people

Exhibitions

Photographies
19th Century Portraits of Maori A unique display of the works of the Burton Bros' era, with the collaboration of Te Papa Museum

Astonishing portraits of Maori, who were often being photographed for the first time, by European settlers. Sometimes directed, or wearing European clothes, taken in scenes of daily life. These portraits offer a different outlook on colonisation.
On display in the Ateliers d'Art, in Douarnenez. With the collaboration of Centre Atlantique de la Photographie (Brest), and of the Te Papa Museum (Wellington)
