Win a copy of The Gosden Years, a magnificent tribute to an NZIFF legend

The Gosden Years, a magnificent new book honouring the legacy of late NZ International Film Festival director Bill Gosden, is available from November 11. Lucky for you, we’ve got a copy up for grabs.

UPDATE – Entries have now closed, and winner contacted by email.

Conceived by Bill Gosden during the last months of his life last year, The Gosden Years catalogues his huge contribution to cinema in Aotearoa.

You can find out more about it here and get a taste for the book with an extract from 2004—a year that saw NZIFF join forces with Ant Timpson’s Incredibly Strange Film Festival and the premieres of Florian Habicht’s Kaikohe Demolition and Brad McGann’s In My Father’s Den.
