If you have recorded visual footages of significant events that occurred in not too distant a past, someone would be interested on throwing them on Air.
Greenstone TV is seeking home footage of programmes and observances from the 1950s for its ‘Decades in Colour’ programme.
The TV channel is producing a three-part series for Prime TV, narrating New Zealand’s history ‘from the inside out primarily through home film footage.’
Researcher Natalie Wood said that ‘Decades in Colour’ will travel through three unforgettable decades of change – the 1950’s, 1960’s and 1970’s, revealing the big moments and the reality of life for ordinary Kiwis.

“Using home colour footage, archived film footage and interviews with people involved in key events and everyday activities, this landmark series will capture what life was really like during those nostalgic years from the inside out,” she said.
‘Decades in Colour’ team is on a nationwide search to help shape the documentary series.
“We are keen to find colour footage of both important and domestic events throughout the country. It could be rural or urban, feature music, politics, or cultural events. Think, the Lions tour, The Beatles arriving, anti-war protests, the Nelson cyclone, sons and fathers going off to war. We also want your stories of everyday life – the beach, picnics, A & P shows, skateboarding, parties, bands, fashion, protests, anything that evokes the times or has a great story behind it,” Ms Wood said.
