About
Launched in 2005, Artsville was a long-running documentary slot which showcased New Zealand art and artists. The subjects ranged from painters, musicians and comic artists, to theatre and dance companies. The format varied from hour-long documentaries to multiple items compiled together, all for a late night slot on TV One. Among the directors commissioned were Mark Albiston (award-winner Magical World of Misery), Shirley Horrocks (Questions for Mr Reynolds) and Andrew Bancroft (Book to Box Office). Artsville was repeated on now defunct Freeview channel TVNZ 6.
