The House Within

With a body of work spanning six decades and over 30 books of fiction, poetry, and memoir, Fiona Kidman has become one of New Zealand’s celebrated authors. This feature-length documentary draws a contemplative portrait of the writer's inner world, and the lifetime that has shaped her stories. Captured at 83-years-old in her hilltop Wellington home, Kidman looks back to her early life and developing career as an author. In his first feature-length documentary, Joshua Prendeville (In Passing) looks at the experiences, passions and setbacks that have driven Kidman's work.
