Dorthe Scheffmann

Dorthe Scheffmann’s varied behind the scenes roles have helped ensure that a legion of Kiwi feature films manage to finish their shoots, without falling apart in the process. In 1996 she won a place in competition at Cannes with The Beach, her debut short as director. Scheffmann now teaches at Auckland University.

... watching Vincent Ward's Vigil took me to the back seat of my fathers Holden, hurtling through the Waikato mist on the way to some sick cow. In Alun Bollinger's cinematography I found my own New Zealand, the way the light falls, its form, its uncompromising nature.
