As part of the 40th anniversary of the Film Archive, we’re republishing this story that takes an in-depth look at our earliest surviving New Zealand film. It explains how footage from 1900 showing troops departing for the South African Boer War was identified, and how the highly fragile film was preserved.
Tāpiri ake ki te huritau 40 o Ngā Taonga, kei te whakaputa anō tēnei kōrero e ruku hōhonu ana ki te wā i puta mai te kiriata mōrehu tuatahi o Aotearoa. Ka whakamāramatia nei ngā āhuatanga i mōhiotia ai tēnei kiriata o ngā hōia e wehe ana ki te Pakanga Boer ki te Tonga o Āwherika i te tau 1900, waihoki te rautaki i whakauka ai te kiriata ngoikore nei.
