Te Wai Ngutu Kākā is pleased to participate in staging UK artist Marcus Coates’ ambitious film, The Directors (2022). Presented by Te Tuhi in association with the Auckland Arts Festival, The Directors consists of five unique films, each presented at a single inner city location and focusing on five individuals’ lived experiences of psychosis.

Mark Banham, Lucy Dempster, Anthony Donohoe, Marcus Gordon, and Stephen Groves each choose a place of significance where they direct Coates to play themselves as they voice instructions off camera. Commissioned by Artangel in London, UK and originally screened in five locations in and around Churchill Gardens Estate in the London borough of Pimlico, Te Tuhi's collaboration with Artangel mirrors the same format and presents the project in five central Auckland locations.

Screening hours: Thursday and Friday, 1pm–6pm
Saturday and Sunday, 11am–4pm
