NZ Film Industry Celebrates Oscars in Hollywood

2/24/05, 1:54 am EST - Tehanu

This Friday sees the fourth annual Celebration of New Zealand Filmmaking and Creative Talent dinner at The Beverly Hills Hotel, Los Angeles. The night will feature a fantastical theme from NZ's current fantasy production, "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe." Also attending are other Oscar nominees: Two Cars, One Night (Best Short Film), Andrew Adamson (Shrek 2, Best animated feature) and Joe Letteri (I Robot, Best visual effects), who did so much work on LOTR. The guest will be interesting and the food outstanding, and there should be a lot to celebrate. [More]
