Cinema of Unease: A Personal Journey by Sam Neill

Cinema of Unease: A Personal Journey by Sam Neill is a documentary about the history of New Zealand cinema written by Sam Neill and co-directed by Neill and Judy Rymer.[1] The film was released in 1995, and was New Zealand's contribution to the British Film Institute's Century of Cinema series.[1] The title refers to the dark and brooding nature of many of New Zealand's most notable films, which Neill considers a reflection of the nation's struggle to find, or form, its own identity. The film screened in the 1995 Cannes Film Festival, and won Best Documentary in the 1996 TV Guide Film and Television Awards of New Zealand.[2][3]
