This Fine Island (Short)

Gavin Hipkins

A meditation on postcolonial New Zealand that recalls Charles Darwin’s visit to the Bay of Islands in the 1830s.

For his first feature-length film the widely exhibited New Zealand photographer Gavin Hipkins invests a richly pictorial essay with the 21st-century resonance of Samuel Butler’s lively utopian satire Erewhon, written in 1872.
