A State of Siege

52m Drama, Short 1978

Karemoana was the final destination of Malfred Signal, retired teacher of drawing, whose life was dedicated to nursing her dying mother, and instructing generations of young girls in the art of accurately depicting shadows. But now her mother has died and Malfred feels free to break away and begin life anew.

Adapted from a novel by Janet Frame, Vincent Ward’s much acclaimed short was made while he was still a student at Ilam Art School.
