New Zealand's haunting beauty is becoming an ever more popular location for Australian and global filmmakers. 'White Cloud, Silver Screen' is a major new scenic book about the country that became Middle Earth. All of the locations in the book have a connection with a film, and while the beautiful South Island locations seen in 'The Lord Of The Rings' are a feature of the book, locations chosen for many other local and international productions are also included: beautiful Karekare beach from 'The Piano', for example, the remote farmland of Vigil, the streets of Dunedin from Scarfies, the central North Island plateau from Utu and the wild Westland bush from Bad Blood. Of particular interest will be images of Taranaki from The Last Samurai, shots of Whangara from Whale Rider and a preview of the locations in the major new film The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.
The book includes an introductory essay on how New Zealand has been portrayed on film, and detailed captions to the photographs describe each location and link it to a particular film or films.
