Fairfax Media is conducting a major poll to find the best New Zealand films of all time.
They don't want to be too prescriptive about what counts as a Kiwi film, but generally it is anything that features New Zealand people telling New Zealand stories.
The more people vote in the poll, the more credible and interesting the results. So, do your bit for Kiwi film culture by voting in the poll. You can't complain about the results if you don't vote!
