K A I K O H E - D E M O L I T I O N - P R O P A G A N D A .... On
the NZ International Film Festival website, Kaikohe Demolition
is listed as one of Bill Gosden's festival highlight picks! 'This
tender, highly enjoyable documentary plays like a labour of love
about a labour of love... "This is a fabulously entertaining film, which features Maori themes, lyrics and and great observations of Kaikohe life!" -Po Roa "Kaikohe
made world news in 1991 when children there attacked Santa in
the Christmas parade. It's not an easy image to dislodge, one
of the locals admits ruefully, but if anything can do the trick
it is Florian Habicht's empathetic, funny account of small-town
life on the poverty line, as told by those living it. The only
violence in this Kaikohe occurs at Demolition Derbys, which seem
to coincide with every festive date on the calendar, including
Mother's Day. It's no surprise that Habicht, who made a 'dump
hand' the hero of last year's Woodenhead, can find the flamboyance
and poetry in the spectacle of mobilised car-wreckage (he mostly
spares us the noise). But what's most arresting about his film
is his easy intimacy with the drivers. 'Putting a little more
tread in the tyres' with a chainsaw, for example, they explain
their sport, regale us with their exploits, and finally, relaxing
in a hot mineral pool after a hard day at the track, speak with
candour, laughter and amazing grace about life in general." 'Kaikohe
Demolition' is made by Woodenhead's core creative team of Habicht
(director, producer, co-DOP/editor), Christopher Pryor (co-DOP/editor)
and Marc Chesterman (original music), and with funding from the
Screen Innovation Production Fund, a partnership between Creative
New Zealand and the New Zealand Film Commission. Hiinatore
