NZ Feature Project

Flight of the Albatross. Flight of the Albatross.

The New Zealand Feature Project began in May 2004 when the mediaplex opened on the ground floor of the Film Archive.

The aim of the project is to screen every single surviving New Zealand feature film at least one time.

Education Programmes

On Disk 

The Film Archive has a dedicated department of education specialists.

Working with the Ministry of Education and teachers, the department produces the On Disk library for secondary school use. Covering an extensive range of subject based programmes On Disk is designed for the secondary school curriculum. Completely free of charge, order online and On Disk will arrive at any NZ school within 48 hours.

For teachers looking for interesting excursions outside the classroom, we offer a range of screening programmes onsite and regularly welcome school groups to the Archive’s cinema in Wellington.
