- **Event Name**: UTU Redux: Geoff Murphy's 1983 classic, re mastered.
- **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 04 Feb, 2026 at 09:30 am – Wed, 04 Feb, 2026 at 11:15 am
- **Event Description**: The New Zealand Land Wars of the nineteenth century provide the setting for Geoff Murphy's internationally-praised epic, the closest thing to a classic western in NZ's cinematic back catalogue. Restored and revitalised in this special Utu Redux presentation.

It starts with the slaughter of a Maori village where almost every character seems to enter into their own personal vendetta against their enemies, turning the film into a prolonged ballad of revenge. These savage motivations mean the moral compass is effectively shattered, nobody is completely good or evil, and the stage is set for some incredibly visceral set pieces, a grim view of race relations and a jet black sense of humour. Bruno Lawrence’s gun needs to be seen to be believed.

The task of Murphy and cinematographer/producer Graeme Cowley to restore Utu was made all the more difficult by the original master negative no longer existing. As it had been disassembled and re-edited to make the shorter international version of the film in the 1980s, a painstaking three-year process was required to complete the new edit, overseen by Murphy and original Utu editor Michael Horton.
