Martyn Sanderson (24 February 1938 – 14 October 2009) was a New Zealand actor, filmmaker and poet.
Sanderson was one of the founders of Downstage Theatre in 1964 in Wellington, with a vision of a small professional company performing challenging works in an intimate venue. In the 1970s, Sanderson toured with multi-media group Blerta, and worked on films with Blerta members Bruno Lawrence and director Geoff Murphy. That decade he won a New Zealand Feltex Award for playing aviator Richard Pearse in a television film of the same title, and was nominated again for playing a British general in the historical miniseries The Governor, the most expensive TV drama made in New Zealand in that decade.
Sanderson's work as a screen director included a number of shorts featuring New Zealand poets, plus the 1989 feature Flying Fox in a Freedom Tree. Based on a work by Albert Wendt, Flying Fox is about a young Samoan caught between the values of his homeland and European colonisers.
He wrote a documentary One of those Blighters on Ronald Hugh Morrieson and the screenplay for the 1986 film of Morrieson's last novel Pallet on the Floor.
Geoffrey Peter Murphy ONZM (born 13 October 1938) is a New Zealand filmmaker, as a producer, director and screenwriter best known for his work during the renaissance of New Zealand cinema that began in the last half of the 1970s. His second feature Goodbye Pork Pie (1981) was the first New Zealand movie to win major commercial success on its own soil.
Murphy directed a string of Hollywood features during the 1990s, before returning to New Zealand as second unit director on The Lord of the Rings film trilogy. The versatile Murphy has also been a scriptwriter, special effects technician, schoolteacher and trumpet player.
Murphy grew up in the Wellington suburb of Highbury, and attended St. Vincent de Paul School in Kelburn and St. Patrick's College, Wellington, before training and working as a schoolteacher.
Murphy was a founding member of legendary 'hippy' musical and theatrical co-operative Blerta, which toured New Zealand and Australia performing multi-media shows in the early 1970s. Blerta were later given the opportunity to make their own television series, which in turn spawned what is arguably Murphy's first feature film, the 75 minute long Wild Man. A number of Blerta members would work on Murphy's films - including drummer and Blerta founder Bruno Lawrence, who had starring roles in Utu and The Quiet Earth.
New Zealand (/njuːˈziːlənd/ new-ZEE-lənd, Māori: Aotearoa [aɔˈtɛaɾɔa]) is an island country in the southwestern Pacific Ocean. The country geographically comprises two main landmasses – that of the North Island, or Te Ika-a-Māui, and the South Island, or Te Waipounamu – and numerous smaller islands. New Zealand is situated some 1,500 kilometres (900 mi) east of Australia across the Tasman Sea and roughly 1,000 kilometres (600 mi) south of the Pacific island areas of New Caledonia, Fiji, and Tonga. Because of its remoteness, it was one of the last lands to be settled by humans. During its long isolation, New Zealand developed a distinctive biodiversity of animal, fungal and plant life. The country's varied topography and its sharp mountain peaks, such as the Southern Alps, owe much to the tectonic uplift of land and volcanic eruptions. New Zealand's capital city is Wellington, while its most populous city is Auckland.
Somewhere between 1250 and 1300 CE, Polynesians settled in the islands that were to become New Zealand, and developed a distinctive Māori culture. In 1642, Abel Tasman, a Dutch explorer, became the first European to sight New Zealand. In 1840, representatives of the British Crown and Māori Chiefs signed the Treaty of Waitangi, making New Zealand a British colony. Today, the majority of New Zealand's population of 4.5 million is of European descent; the indigenous Māori are the largest minority, followed by Asians and Pacific Islanders. Reflecting this, New Zealand's culture is mainly derived from Māori and early British settlers, with recent broadening arising from increased immigration. The official languages are English, Māori and New Zealand Sign Language, with English predominant.

This is the home of the Aussie Irish Catholic family, the Darcys, as lovingly told by award-winning author Ruth Park. In The Harp in the South and Poor Man’s Orange, Park tells of the trials and tribulations of growing up in a Sydney slum in the years immediately following the Second World War. In Poor Man’s Orange we see the changing world of the Darcys in the late 1950s. The narrow-gutted, dirty old house is now home to Mumma (Anne Phelan), dad Hughie (Martyn Sanderson), Dolour (Kaarin Fairfax), and her elder sister Roie (Anna Hruby), who lives in one of the upstairs rooms with her husband Charlie Rothe (Shane Connor) and their little girl, Moira (Emily Nicol), who calls herself Motty.

An often overlooked film made in Wellington, New Zealand by George Rose and Richard Adams in the late 1970s. Made with help from Vincent Ward, Martyn Sanderson and others. A critic giving a lecture in an art gallery is overcome by childhood memories. The film jumps backwards and forwards in time, showing the critic in various states of lucidity and madness as he tries to contextualize his life experiences in terms of art theory. Co-directors Rose and Adams both acted in this poetic depiction of emotional isolation set to a breathtaking soundtrack by Jonathon Besser. There are several versions of this 16mm film, ranging in length from 40 to 60 minutes. Unfortunately this beautifully shot film has lost some of its cinematic splendour in this digital transfer. An unknown classic of New Zeal...

Enhanced and restored for cinema release 30 years after its original NZ box office success. "Geoff Murphy's 1983 Utu is unveiled afresh in its ravishing, pictorial splendour.
