Television New Zealand Archive
The Television New Zealand Archive collection contains over 600,000 hours of television spanning almost 55 years of New Zealand's public television history. It includes New Zealand content such as documentaries, dramas, sports programmes and every TVNZ news broadcast from December 1986 to 2014. The archive only holds titles that have previously been broadcast – raw footage is not included. The archive also includes thousands of photographic stills. Both TVNZ and the Ministry for Culture and Heritage hold a list of the titles held in the TVNZ Archive collection. This has subsequently been released under the Official Information Act. The Ministry considers the majority of titles to be of high heritage and cultural value and the Minister of Broadcasting Craig Foss stated it was a "unique record of life in New Zealand". The contents of the collection are subject to the Public Records Act 2005. In 2014 the Ministry for Culture and Heritage, on behalf of the Crown, became the guard ...

Upstream (film)
''Upstream'' is a 1927 American comedy film directed by John Ford. A "backstage drama", the film is about a Shakespearean actor and a woman from a knife-throwing act. The film was considered to be a lost film, but in 2009 a print was discovered in the New Zealand Film Archive. It is considered to be the first Ford film to show some influence of German director F. W. Murnau, who began working at Fox Studios in 1926. From Murnau, Ford learned how to use forced perspectives and chiaroscuro lighting, which the American director then integrated into his own more naturalistic and direct filmmaking style.

National Film Library, New Zealand
The National Film Library (NFL) was established in 1942 following the gifting of some documentary films by the British Council, Government Film Studios and Ministry of Information for use in New Zealand schools. From its founding until 1963 the library had Walter Harris (1903-1990) as its head. Previously a geography teacher, and then lecturer at Christchurch Teachers' College, Harris was later succeeded at NFL by Ray Hayes. By 1946 the Education department's annual report noted that there were over 2000 films in the library. In 1956 a British Council donation of almost 1000 gramophone records was also made. By 1972 NFL held around 9000 16 mm film titles, totalling 34 000 prints. NFL also developed a strong supporting role for the Federation of Film Societies, with the Education Department paying for distribution of Society prints around New Zealand. Returned prints were also checked for any damage by NFL staff. As early as 1956 Harris also organised a meeting with other gov ...
