More About Houses.
OUSES, it would seem, are almost ° as photogenic as horses; they’ are certainly of more vital concern these days, even to New Zealanders. At any rate, films about the housing problem have. been made, or are being made, in many different countries. Recently I saw a new one dealing with the New Zealand Government’s housing scheme, produced by the Public Works Department and photographed in colour. This is, I am informed, the first occasion on which a New Zealand film of this size has been given this treatment in colour, so there is a special technical interest to it, apart from the interest in the subjectmatter. There is no point in comparing this P.W.D, effort with that produced recently by the National Film Unit, except to say that each has much the same story to tell, but tells it differently,
Whereas the Film Unit approached the housing situation from the wider, historical angle, the P.W.D. film-makers favour the more intimate and more domestic approach, concentrating largely on the details of construction and giving us an inside view of Government houses and their fittings.
