Land of the Long White Cloud

Directed by Florian Habicht

Fish meet philosophy on New Zealand's Ninety Mile Beach.

Fish meet philosophy on Ninety Mile Beach. Having caught the Far North at play in Kaikohe Demolition, local film-maker Florian Habicht returned to film them fishing on Ninety Mile Beach at the ‘Snapper Classic’ - the world’s largest Snapper fishing contest. “The brain is a multi-faceted thing that thinks about all sorts of things, mostly bullshit - whereas a fish doesn’t, a fish only thinks about eating, reproduction, and staying alive. A bit like the kiwi male, probably.” Muses local fi sherman Neil Moody in the film.
