‘New Zealand movie director Annie Goldson has won Le Grand Prix du Jury at the 6th Annual Pacific International Documentary Film Festival for her 75-minute “An Island Calling” film about the 2001 murder of a gay couple in Fiji.
Ms. Goldson’s 75-minute documentary tells the story of John Scott and his partner of 20 years Greg Scrivener, a prominent gay couple murdered in their Suva home. Scott, the Fiji Red Cross director, had become well known for his courage during the 2000 military coup in Fiji when he assisted hostages held by George Speight and his followers.
Scott and Scriverner “were killed in the name of God by Apete Kaisau, a young indigenous Fijian man who had been friends with the couple,” according to the festival’s program. The film was produced by Occasional Productions.
“When you make a film like that, you are not alone, and it’s a real trip,” Ms. Goldson said after receiving the jury’s Grand Prix award along with a cash prize of 500,000 French Pacific francs (US$5,555/€4,190). Continue reading ‘Annie Goldsons wins top FIFO award for Fiji documentary’
