“MOUTH WIDE OPEN celebrates the centenary of the first moving image made in New Zealand, told through the eyes of the last of our first generation filmmakers, Ted Coubray, then 94 years old. Born five years after the birth of cinema, Edwin Coubray’s life was always inextricably linked with moving images. He was one of New Zealand’s foremost but least known film makers.” - 1998 Wellington film festival programme.
