Since its inception, New Zealand film production has often been characterized by a strong focus on the promotion and marketing of local scenic locations. However, over the last few decades and simultaneously with New Zealand’s rapidly increasing urbanization rates, urban narratives have gained prominence in the cinematic representation of the country, gradually becoming important aspects of national tourism marketing campaigns. This article first provides an overview of New Zealand tourism film’s dynamics of production and recurring themes and narratives from the early twentieth century to the 1960s. It then focuses on Toehold on a Harbour and This Auckland – tourism films produced by the government-led New Zealand National Film Unit and released respectively in 1967 and 1966 – and identifies a turning point in the manufacturing of local urban narratives and in New Zealand urban tourism marketing. My critical and textual analysis of these two case studies notably relies on the examination of archival documents related to their production and on an interview with This Auckland’s director Hugh Macdonald. It ultimately shows how the emergence of ‘cities with a character’ as a tourism marketing tool was in fact a carefully planned, articulated and years-long government-driven strategy.

In 2019, the Vā Moana–Pacific Spaces research group at Auckland University of Technology (AUT) began to investigate how core Moana and Māori values can be translated from onsite, embodied engagements into digital environments. This was prompted by our wish to provide access to all those who could not travel to attend a conference in late 2021 for our Marsden-funded research project, ‘Vā Moana: Space and relationality in Pacific thought and identity’ (2019–22). The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic fundamentally reframed this premise, as providing offsite access was no longer simply a ‘nice option’. The crisis challenged us to find out how virtual participation in events can uphold values of tikanga (correct procedure, custom) and teu le vā (nurturing relational space). In particular, our research examines practices foregrounding vā as the attachment to and feeling for place, as well as relatedness between people and other entities. We have observed an emerging conceptual deployment of vā as relational space and a mode of belonging, especially in diasporic constellations oriented by a cosmopolitan understanding of vā. Due to this focus, we noticed early on that simply moving meetings online is unlikely to create a supportive environment for Indigenous researchers in diaspora, who share principal values and a commitment to a kaupapa (agenda, initiative). This realization led us to interrogate how research collaboration and circulation are influenced by the distinct features of physical and online contexts, protocols and connectivity. To develop the alternative kind of vā we envisaged – together with strategies to sustain it through our online practices – thus became a much larger project in the times of rapid change under COVID-19. This is a very brief, initial report on our experiences.
2019年，奥克兰理工大学（AUT）的VāMoana–太平洋空间研究小组开始研究如何将Moana和毛利人的核心价值观从现场体现的参与转化为数字环境。这是因为我们希望为所有无法在2021年底参加由马斯登资助的研究项目“VāMoana：太平洋思想和身份中的空间与关系”（2019-22）会议的人提供机会。新冠肺炎疫情的爆发从根本上重新定义了这一前提，因为提供异地访问不再是一个简单的“好选择”。这场危机要求我们找出虚拟参与活动如何维护tikanga（正确的程序、习俗）和teu le vā（培育关系空间）的价值观。特别是，我们的研究考察了将vā作为对地方的依恋和感觉，以及人与其他实体之间的关系的做法。我们观察到，vā作为关系空间和归属模式的概念部署正在兴起，尤其是在以对vā的世界性理解为导向的散居星座中。由于这种关注，我们很早就注意到，简单地将会议转移到网上不太可能为散居国外的土著研究人员创造一个支持环境，他们有着共同的主要价值观和对kaupapa（议程、倡议）的承诺。这一认识使我们思考了物理和在线环境、协议和连接的不同特征是如何影响研究合作和传播的。因此，在新冠肺炎下的快速变化时期，开发我们设想的替代性vā，以及通过在线实践维持这种vā的战略，成为了一个更大的项目。这是一份关于我们经历的非常简短的初步报告。
