Интересные факты

Matariki is a 2010 New Zealand drama film set in Ōtara, South Auckland. The film is told through five interweaving stories all set in the days leading to the rising of Matariki. The film incorporates a variety of languages including English, Māori, Tokelauan, Samoan, and Cantonese. It features an ensemble cast and is the feature debut for actors Susana Tang and Jason Wu. The film was funded by the New Zealand Film Commission.

Production

Ideas for the script began in the mid-1990s after director Michael Bennett saw a one-man stage play by Iaheto Ah Hi about his Tokelauan cousin named Aleki (Ah Hi subsequently went on to play lead character Tyrone in the film). Filming began in April 2009 with it almost entirely shot in Ōtara, South Auckland. Many locals were used as extras in the film (including location manager Damion Nathan), especially during scenes set in the Ōtara markets.

The film's score was composed by Don McGlashan. McGlashan compiled a range of hits by renowned New Zealand artists including Gin Wigmore, Bill Sevesi, The Phoenix Foundation, Misfits of Science, Prince Tui Teka, Concord Dawn and The Brunettes. McGlashan also composed the film's main song "What Love Can Do", which was sung by soul/jazz singer Bella Kalolo and The GLCC Youth Choir.

The film's crew included cinematographer Alun Bollinger and Academy Award-nominated editor John Gilbert.
