Шаблон:For Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use New Zealand English Шаблон:Infobox film Hinemoa was a silent film made in New Zealand by Gaston Méliès in 1913.

Hinemoa is possibly the first film to have been made in New Zealand, although it is doubtful whether the film was ever screened in the country.[1]

Plot

No known copy of Hinemoa survives, but the film would have told the story of the legend of Hinemoa and Tutanekai.

Background

In 1912, the Méliès brothers' company Star Film was in some financial strife, as a result of which Gaston Méliès travelled to the South Pacific in search of fashionably exotic locales, people and stories.[2]

Hinemoa was one of five two-reel films screened in New York City in 1913; probably including three other 1913 films he shot in New Zealand, Loved by a Maori Chieftess, How Chief Te Ponga Won His Bride and The River Wanganui. As with the three other films, Méliès sent Hinemoa to the United States for post-production treatment, so it is doubtful if any were shown in New Zealand. Several other films shot by Méliès on the expedition failed to survive the tropical humidity.
