When Fiona Clark, a young queer photographer exhibits her photography of the LGBTQI community in 1975, she and her friends face a systemic backlash of an oppressive New Zealand society.

Land of the Long White Stain
A Love Letter to Music on the Margins

2015 

[writing, direction, music supervision, composition — as Claire Duncan]
Lumière Industries 2015

“[this] ‘love-letter to music on the margins’ punctures the romantic view of the touring musician (with withering narration playing over images of rural backwaters) while simultaneously affirming the virtues of self-expression, and the special transience of live performance. Featured are interviews and arresting performances from some of NZ’s most singular new artists: Seth Frightening, i.e. crazy (the director’s musical alias) and Girls Pissing On Girls Pissing.”
