Four and Five Films

STILL HERE is now available to watch on and .official

Directed by Litia Tuiburevelu and produced by Torisse Laulu, STILL HERE celebrates the small but mighty Pasifika community in inner-city Auckland who have remained despite decades of rampant gentrification. Each episode weaves intergenerational stories of family, community and culture dispelling the myth that “all the Islanders have left.”

This series wouldn’t have been possible without all those who shared their stories, and the crew that helped bring the series to life.

What an honour it is to work with some incredible minds. May we boundlessly dream of possibilities beyond our wildest imaginations. May we weave communities of support, compassion, and active solidarity. With our history in front of us, and our tūpuna at our shoulders, may we walk into a future that is connected and thriving for us all.
