The Lumière Reader winds down its New Zealand International Film Festivals coverage for 2008 with a series of illustrations by LYNDON BARROIS and ADDOLEY DZEGEDE. The Festival itself (in condensed form) continues to tour these remaining centres: New Plymouth (Sept 4-17), Nelson (Sept 11-25), Greymouth (Oct 2-8), Masterton (Oct 15-29), Queenstown (Oct 23-Nov 5), Gisborne (Nov 6-19), Whangarei (Nov 13-26). The Editor’s Post-Festival Wrap will follow shortly (previous years’ reports can be surveyed here); in the meantime, Lumière’s 70+ film reviews, along with visiting filmmaker interviews, can be revisited via our NZIFF ’08 A-Z Guide.
