Formerly
Known as James Mack is an intimate portrayal of one of New Zealand's
legendary arts professionals, now living a hermit's life with his dog, on
the cliffs above the Waiohine River in the Wairarapa. Fascinating memories
of the New Zealand gay world since the 1950s form a backdrop to this man's
zest for life, including the spiritual world, New Zealand artists and art
history, his aging body and the challenges of prostate cancer.

Profits from this screening of Formerly Known As James Mack will benefit the Lesbian and Gay Archives of New Zealand.
