Vigil is a 1984 New Zealand drama film directed and co-written by Vincent Ward, in his directorial debut. Starring Penelope Stewart, Frank Whitten, Bill Kerr, Fiona Kay, and Gordon Shields, it was the first New Zealand film invited to play in the competitive section of the Cannes Film Festival.

Production

Vincent Ward spent five years making Vigil, from pre-production to completion. Part of this was a lengthy pre-production process which involved him visiting hundreds of schools throughout New Zealand, looking for the right actor to play Toss. Similarly, Ward travelled all over New Zealand looking for a perfect setting before finding the isolated farm in Northern Taranaki where filming eventually took place. It was his debut feature film.

Producer and former collaborator Tim White, whom Ward had met while both were studying at the Ilam School of Fine Arts in the 1970s, was first assistant director on the film.

Ward co-wrote the screenplay with Graeme Tetley; cinematography was by Alun Bollinger; while production design was by Kai Hawkins.
