From Standing Room Only, 2:25 pm on 6 December 2020

A te reo Māori poetry film has won top prize at an international competition in Ireland.

"Noho Mai" was a collaborative effort by the co-directors, writer Peta-Maria Tunui and audiovisual creative Waitahi Aniwaniwa McGee.

The film is filled with imagery of flight, Maori culture and of Aotearoa's landscapes.  Lynn Freeman asks Peta-Maria and Waitahi just what it was about their film that caught the attention of the prestigious Ó Bhéal International Poetry-Film Competition in Cork, Ireland.
