Hear Vincent Ward speak candidly of his local upbringing and how the wonderful character ‘Ma Olsen’ came to be the subject of his very first documentary.

Here at WBS, we’re thrilled to once again sponsor the Wairarapa Film Festival. Festival Director, Jane Ross, has curated another special programme of film screenings, workshops, seminars, masterclasses and special guests. These events all highlight and celebrate local filmmakers and the art of story-telling in, and of, our wonderful region.
