Jacqueline Fahey: From Where I’m Looking (18 mins)

Stoats’ Last Stand (15 mins)
The Place Where Memories Hide (22 mins)
Love in all its forms — between partners, species, and the places we call home. A granddaughter captures sixty years of love meeting ten years of Alzheimer’s, while a 1970s discovery rewrites what we thought we knew about seagulls and partnership. Tender, surprising, and quietly profound.

More about the four films
Jacqueline Fahey: From Where I’m Looking
An exploration of Jacqueline Fahey’s life and career as a writer, artist and “sneaky” political activist.
Love Birds
In 1972, married biologists George Hunt and Molly Warner make an unprecedented discovery while studying seagulls on one of California’s Channel Islands. To their surprise, a great number of the nesting pairs they observe are both female.
Stoats’ Last Stand
Seven years ago, a community organisation on Waiheke Island set out to eradicate stoats that have been decimating New Zealand’s native birdlife. With iwi, community, and sponsor support, the stoats are retreating and the birds are coming back.
The Place Where Memories Hide
Sixty years of love, ten years of Alzheimer’s. As David fills diaries trying to hold onto his memories, his wife Maureen faces an impossible choice. Their granddaughter, Director Jenny Barruol, captures an intimate, devastating portrait of love and letting go.
