Louise Leitch

A day at the river unexpectedly awakens the spirit of a woman held captive by years of broken promises.

Best Short Film award

With its narrative fluidity and exemplary concision, Louise Leitch’s film is a humorous, humanistic illustration of the poetic motto “it is always time to be reborn”. Thus Whakatiki has earned the award for Best Short Subject.
