New
Zealand small town Kaikohe made world news in 1991 when
some of it's children attacked Santa in the local Christmas
Parade.
Habicht's documentary focuses on something more positive,
Northland's most rock 'n' roll event, the Kaikohe Demolition
Derby.
Told by the people involved, Kaikohe Demolition exposes
the innocence and artistic beauty of a violent spectator
sport.
The
documentary features Kaikohe locals Ben Haretuku, John
and Carmen Zielinski, and Uncle Bimm.
Photography and editing is by Florian and Christopher
Pryor.
Sound recording by Jeffrey Holdaway.
Produced and directed by Florian.
Original music by Marc Chesterman and Ben Maitland.
Additional music by Human Instinct, The Box Car guitars,
Lush Burger, Ben Tawhiti and Push Push.
Filmed on location in Kaikohe, Ohaewai and Nga Wha for
the last three years.
A Pictures for Anna production.
Funded by the Creative New Zealand Screen Innovation Production
Fund,

Zealand Film Commission.
