He Waiora is a collection of 8 short films made by a new generation of emerging young Māori filmmakers, developed and produced by Māoriland Film Festival (MFF)’s rangatahi (youth) development programme - the Ngā Pakiaka Incubator Programme (NPIP).
Created during the first COVID-19 lockdown in 2020 and supported by the Sundance Institute’s Reinstitute and Reimagine Plan and Te Tumu Whakaata Taonga - New Zealand Film Commission’s Rangatahi fund. Production of the films was supported by over 700 Boosted supporters.
‘He Waiora’ meaning a reflection of life is the theme of this collection of films. Each story is ambitious and a celebration of the types of stories that can be explored when young people are given the freedom and support to create.
Kaitaia is home to filmmaker Te Mahara Tamehana (Ngati Hine, Ngāpuhi). Te Mahara started with a Māoriland workshop at 14. At 16 he co-wrote and co-directed with filmmaker Oriwa Hakaraia the short film ‘Bub’ which had its premiere in Toronto, Canada at the imagiNATIVE Film & Media Arts festival. Since then he has made content for his community in Kaitaia.
Te Mahara’s film ‘Street Lights’ in this showcase was shot in Kaitaia and features all local FFN musicians on the soundtrack.
