Facing a climate crisis, Reciprocity Project embraces Indigenous value systems that have bolstered communities since the dawn of humanity. To heal, we must recognize that we are in relationship with Earth, a place that was in balance until the Industrial Age. The second season of this project invites learning from time-honored and current ways of being across seven Indigenous communities, including the mountainous Tayal homelands of Taiwan, the nightless nights and deep snows of Sámi Nation in Finland, and the forested Limba homelands in Sierra Leone. The Season Two storytellers and community partners are creating projects in response to a question: “What does a return to land, language, practices, and reciprocal relationships mean to you and your community?”

The Māoriland Keynote address is a personal and historical perspective given by a prominent Māori filmmaker. Past keynote speakers were Tainui Stephens, Lawrence Makoare, Larry Parr, Julian and Mabelle Dennison, Rawiri Paratene, Heperi and Awatea Mita, Temuera Morrison, Rena Owen, Waihoroi Shortland and Libby Hakaraia.
Highly recognised Māori artists have responded to the theme of this year’s MFF Kia Tau Te Rongomau with captivating work in the Ōtaki township.
The Māoriland Film Festival Arts Installation project is curated by Rachael Rākena, an Associate Professor of Māori Art and a celebrated Kai Tahu Video Installation artist.
The project is made possible through the generous support of an Arts Grant from Creative New Zealand. The captivating installations feature the exceptional works of Regan Balzer, Tame Iti, Ngātaiharuru Taepa, and Johnson Witehira. We are immensely proud to have these esteemed artists as the MFF2024 Keynote Address.
