Formerly Known As James Mack

Dir: Marian Evans, New Zealand, DVD, 89mins

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.

Ticket prices: $12 waged, $7 unwaged.  Contact Marian Evans for advance ticket sales.

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