Samin Son is a Korean-born artist, currently based in Wellington. His practice traverses different mediums - painting, installation, sound and video - with performative strategies. In "Samin Son TV" he reinterprets his past performance pieces as an experimental audiovisual work. The work is formed by his experience of compulsory military service in the Korean Army. He draws upon the endurance and meticulously directed aggression demanded by army life, as well as his struggles with identity and race politics in his second home.

Visitors to the Film Archive are now able to enjoy a new mini cinema. Christchurch artist and film maker Alex Porter has transported her Cinebooth to Wellington. The Cinebooth is a free-standing, individual screening device (rather like a photo booth), replete with velvet curtains and a plush red floor. Porter’s film, "N or Nor W, Study of a Canterbury Wind" (2011), plays in the intimate space formed by the booth’s dark walls.

New Zealand’s largest trade union, the Public Service Association (PSA), was founded in 1913.

The films reflect the PSA’s diverse membership and changing relationships with successive governments.
