Screentalk - Barry Barclay Interview

The late Barry Barclay [Ngāti Apa] was one of New Zealand's most respected filmmakers. He directed such landmark titles as Tangata Whenua, Ngati, and Feathers of Peace. Barclay was also a longtime campaigner for the right of indigenous people to tell their own stories, to their own people. Before his death in 2008, Barclay was interviewed for ScreenTalk about his early days working as a cameraman and director with John O'Shea's legendary production company Pacific Films.
