NZ MUSIC VIDEOS NOW ON NZ ON SCREEN

Established late last year, NZ On Screen is a showcase of New
Zealand screen culture, featuring collections, interviews, bios
and over 450 film and television titles.

The website - awarded Best Entertainment Website at the 2009
Qantas Media Awards - is now adding a Music Videos collection.

A selection of 80 New Zealand clips will be on the site from
today (June 2), with more to come.

Broadcaster and Kiwi music fan - former TV3 and C4 (retro show
Flashbacks) host - James Coleman has kicked off music videos on
NZ On Screen by curating a choice selection of clips for the
site. He says this was a highly enjoyable but daunting task.
"We've never had the big budgets for music videos that overseas
artists enjoy, but we've had an admirable DIY resourcefulness
within our budgetary limitations, and this has produced a stash
of stunning clips.

"Because NZ On Screen exists to showcase and celebrate the NZ
screen industry, I've chosen the music videos based on the
concept, execution and impact of the clip itself, quite apart
from the success of the song. Having said that, most of our top
artists are represented in the collection.
