1954 - An Experiment in Disarticulated Cinema by David Green

7-17 DEC, 11AM-2PM DAILY, DREAVERS MILLINER SHOP, 165 GEORGE ST, DUNEDIN

Six months after her coronation the 25-year-old Queen Elizabeth II of England spent three days and two nights in and about Dunedin.

1954 is an experiment in disarticulated cinema, by David Green, using historic footage from the visit.

David Green’s installation, "1954", will feature footage of Queen Elizabeth’s January 1954 visit to Dunedin, shot by members of the Otago Cine Club on 8mm and 16mm cameras. Provided by the Film Heritage Trust, the footage shows the excitement that enveloped the city during the visit. "Also what you see is a Dunedin that’s almost unrecognisable. There is so little left of the architecture that existed in 1954, especially in the main town area." Read more in the Otago Daily Times...
