After two, Dunedin filmmaker David hay's just spent 6 weeks networking with film makers in Shanghai as part of a screenwriting exchange, we speak to the curator of the inaugural Experimental Dance Week Aotearoa boundary pusher Alexa Wilson and Benny Marama, one of Hamilton's arts movers and shakers, guest stars on the Laugh Track playing some of his favourite comedy clips. Writer Sandi Hall reveals her new play about a charismatic Maori suffragete, producer Mark Amery's teenagers talk to young adult fiction author Brin Murray and we chat to the art historian who's behind the Scarface Claw exhibition of drawings and behind the scenes work that Dame Lynley Dodd's put into Hairy McClary's nemesis.
