The short comedy film Death Walks Into a Bar, created by young New Zealand director Liam Wylie with the participation of Michael Hearst and T. Ann Robson, tells the phantasmagorical story of the meeting of two old friends at the bar.
It is always better to find out a relationship in the company of something hot. This is how the heroes of the film decided for themselves, going to the bar for a meeting that hardly promised each of them many pleasant moments. However, is it worth counting on a happy ending if the ancient rulers of fate are at one table with glasses in their hands - the God of War and the God of Death, who started dangerous gatherings in the drinking establishment of the afterlife? close

The 2005 discovery of a cannonball, buried for 138 years in a paddock, throws Waimate into turmoil. It is all the Maori locals need to confirm their long-held belief that they were forcibly removed from their tribal lands, in a bloody 1866 battle. The hotly contested claim eventually ends up in the District Court and on the lens of cameraman Dave who captures all the arguments, frauds and forgeries of the townspeople, in a cinema verité mockumentary style. close
