STOP: Look Both Ways (Ugly Hill Press) is a new book by Murray Savidan. The book showcases some of the best of Murray’s photography from the 1960s to now.
Beth had a kōrero with Murray about the book and his extensive photography career. Additionally they chat about Murray’s time in The Bluestars, the first New Zealand band to sign to Decca in the ’60s.
In Murray’s own words, ‘You gesture with your camera, okay? You take a photograph, maybe another. You smile – thank you and move on. It’s taken 15 seconds, maybe less. But those brief encounters can be very rewarding. You remember them the rest of your life.’
STOP: Look Both Ways is out now at independent bookstores near you.

On May 1st, 1979, a group of young Māori and Pasifika activists, He Taua, confronted a gathering of University of Auckland engineering students as they rehearsed their annual ‘mock’ haka.
Following director Katie Wolfe’s play of the same name - which travelled the country on a highly successful national tour from 2021 - the documentary uses archival and contemporary interviews with people directly involved in the incident. Sofia spoke to Katie about this largely forgotten piece of history and her filmmaking process.
Sofia had a kōrero with writer, director, and producer of The Haka Party Incident, Katie Wolfe.
