FlorianHabicht
- Director
Though most of his films have been documentaries, Florian Habicht's work has often blurred the boundaries between truth and fiction. His CV includes offbeat fairytale Woodenhead, three love letters to New Zealand's far north (Kaikohe Demolition, Land of the Long White Cloud, James & Isey), portraits of Kiwi theatre legend Warwick Broadhead and British band Pulp, and his award-winning, genre-stretching Love Story.
Screenography
Biography
Florian Habicht has talked more than once about how he takes the most risks when he is holding a camera. Habicht's risk-taking has helped make him one of New Zealand's most distinctive documentarians, partly because he sometimes enjoys moving beyond the literal truth. His films show an interest in memorable images and the idiosyncracies of human beings — whether they be demolition derby enthusiasts, pop stars or fishermen.
