From demolition derby drivers to spookmakers and performance artists: a collection celebrating the work of filmmaker Florian Habicht.
Overview
Florian Habicht first won attention for 2003's Woodenhead, a fairytale about a rubbish dump worker and a princess. By then Habicht had already made his first feature-length documentary. Many more docos have followed: films that celebrate his love for people, and sometimes drift into fantasy. In this collection, watch as the idiosyncratic director meets fishermen, Kaikohe demolition derby drivers (both watchable in full), legends of Kiwi theatre and British pop, and beautiful women carrying slices of cake through New York. In the backgrounder Ian Pryor writes about the joys of Florian Habicht.
