This Is New Zealand

This Is New Zealand is a documentary that presents an artistic portrayal of New Zealand's landscapes and culture. The film was notable for its use of three synchronized 35mm projectors to create an extra-wide screen experience, which was innovative for its time. It combines scenic imagery with classical compositions, specifically Sibelius' Karelia Suite, enhancing the visual experience.

Originally showcased at Expo 70, the film has been restored by Archives New Zealand and Park Road Post, with involvement from the original director and sound mixer. This restoration highlights its ongoing relevance and appeal. Collectors may appreciate the VHS format, as it represents a historical method of viewing this cinematic work. In 2014, a remastered DVD version was released, expanding its availability for audiences and collectors alike.
