The Unplanned Masterpiece Archive
These interviews were filmed for The Unplanned Masterpiece (2009), a feature documentary by Gabriel White on the history of Auckland. The project was conceived not only as a film offering a particular slant on its source interviews but also as an open resource of separate, longer portions of those interviews.

Aucklantis (excerpts)
Aucklantis, a kind of Homeric voyage through Auckland's urban wilderness, was shot in 2006.
"He stalks the city like a latter day Baudelairean flaneur, weaving a complex meditation on the bizarrerie of the ordinary lives and landscapes we take for granted...He takes the place he lives in and interrogates its peculiarities. His formidable erudition comes down, in these latest works, to one man talking on a moving screen -- somehow he succeeds in making this the Platonic essence of cinema." - Jack Ross's review of Aucklantis
