More Staff Pets
It has been cat, dog, calf and magpie madness at the Film Archive, Wellington, since we opened our new PET exhibition!
Here are a few more favourite pet memories from Film Archive staff (see more staff pet stories here).
This is Jane, Outreach Screenings Manger, with one of her pet pigeons.
Listen to her story about the clever pigeons:

The My Favourite Pet photo competition runs in conjunction with our new PET exhibition, which is on in Wellington at the moment. It’s a moving image exhibition curated 2014 Film Archive Curator-at-Large Gareth Watkins, which draws on the Archive’s large home movie collection to create a homage to the family pet. Admission is free and the exhibition runs until April 12. Read more about PET here.
