Marlon Williams: Two Worlds – Ngā Ao E Rua at MIFF
One of Aotearoa’s most beloved artists, Marlon Williams, sets out on his most ambitious musical project yet: creating an album sung entirely in te reo Māori.
Feeling burnt out from the touring cycle, acclaimed New Zealand musician and actor returns to his quiet coastal hometown of Ōhinehou/Lyttelton to work on a life- and career-changing undertaking: recording an album, Te Whare Tīwekaweka, in his ancestral language of te reo Māori. Chronicling Williams’s artistic process across four years, director Ursula Grace Williams follows the troubadour from the tranquillity of the South Island to his adopted home of Melbourne. Balancing moments of behind-the-scenes levity with remarkable musical sequences built around Williams’s new waiata, this engrossing documentary playfully captures one musician’s poignant personal journey.
