She’s a sis!… She’s also just supercool! – Anika Moa
Kōrero with Chelsea Winstanley
Kōrero with Chelsea Winstanley (Ngāti Ranginui, Ngāi Te Rangi)
Film director, writer and Oscar®-nominated producer
Extraordinary… – WIFT (Women in Film & Television)
Come recharge your batteries before the silly season at an evening with smart, straight-talking, award-winning filmmaker Chelsea Winstanley ONZM.
“There are legitimate grounds to be pissed off right now – and with this current government we are going to possibly regress into a really dire situation. So it’s important that we’re just super vigilant, keep pushing, be unapologetically proud to be Māori, kōrero Māori and just celebrate being Māori because it’s beautiful.” – Chelsea
Impressive, creative and mission-led, Chelsea platforms other indigenous and women filmmakers – including as producer for Jojo Rabbit and Merata Mita: How Mum Decolonised the Screen, about Chelsea’s inspiring filmmaking idol (who also happens to be Mum to the Centre’s Women Services Coordinator Awatea!). Chelsea’s also helped create reo Māori adaptions of Disney’s Moana, Lion King and Frozen.
“My sole focus is to tell stories that give voice to those traditionally left out.”
“We’ve been served a diet of predominantly white-male-focused films for so many years — and now it really is just a matter of turning that on its head.”
Enjoy stimulating ideas and the power of honesty and openness with Chelsea in kōrero with Stacey Morrison (Ngāi Tahu, Te Arawa) award-winning broadcaster, author and advocate for te reo Māori. We can’t wait!
All genders welcome, NZSL interpreters provided. This event will be livestreamed via our Facebook page, and a high quality video version will be uploaded to YouTube in the days following the event.

Tickets
Which ticket price should I select?
We try to keep our events affordable for all. We use a sliding scale to take into account different levels of financial well-being, so that people on a low income can still afford to attend. As a gauge, we expect that people in full time employment would pay the full amount and people in part-time employment pay somewhere closer to the mid-range. It would be appropriate for students and beneficiaries to pay closer to the base end of the scale.
