Fiona Kidman: The Writer Within
17 May 2025, Auckland Writers Festival
Sold out
“The House Within – Joshua Prendeville’s documentary of one of our literary treasures, Fiona Kidman – sold out of all its screenings when it premiered.
“Described by The Spinoff as “a treatment we’ve long needed for one of our great writers and waymakers”, it holds a delicate lens to Kidman’s illustrious life and work, a career which spans more than 30 books and a raft of the highest accolades here and abroad.
“But how do you go about translating the very interior life of a writer to film? And how did an eminent writer in her ninth decade bond with a 20-something filmmaker and entrust him to tell her life story in all its highs and lows? In this special session, Kidman and Prendeville sit down with Caroline Barron (Te Uri o Hau, Pākeha) to reflect on their creative relationship.”
Supported by Platinum Patrons Betsy and Michael Benjamin.
