Lumière Unveils Issue Four
Media Release | June 15th, 2004
The highly anticipated fourth issue of independent film publication Lumière hits newsstands on Tuesday, June 15th.
Since its inception in 2003, Lumière Magazine has quickly established itself in the market as the definitive publication produced in this country on independent and foreign cinema.
"We want to provide a dynamic, democratic platform to discuss and address indie films and filmmaking," says co-editor Tim Wong.
"Doing this can only help strengthen and promote the local and overseas indie film scene and connect like-minds. Our magazine is highly democratic in nature and we welcome contributions and feedback."
Another important facet to Lumière is its commitment to design, advertising, illustration, photography and interactive visual communications. This is achieved through the editors' open collaboration with the visual arts community.
Lumière works in partnership with local based film festivals for each issue. The spotlight of issue four is on the Telecom 2004 New Zealand International

The energetic sections of Lumière 4 to those in this year's international festival. Highlights include: exclusive reviews of Cannes Film Festival Grand Prix winner, Old Boy and other new Asian Cinema, animation (including Hayao Miyazaki), David Rittey's Cannes Short Film selection Closer, a new documentary from Woodenhead director Florian Habicht and Shaw Brothers retrospective of titles. There is also a sneak preview of this year's MIC Homegrown Short Film Programmes.
"We have plans to launch an online indie film forum soon. There is strong evidence to support a need for such a space. Kiwis are absorbing indie and foreign films like never before," adds Marketing Communications Advisor Alistair Kwun.
Lumière special mention in the April/May issue of PRODESiGN and featured recently as AGM Publishing's website of the week.
Lumière 4 is proudly sponsored by Massey University and the Asia New Zealand Foundation.
