Join us in the microcinema for Taratoa Stappard’s stunning anti-colonial Māori gothic story of retribution, Mārama. 1859, North Yorkshire. When young Māori woman Mary arrives from New Zealand, she’ strapped as governess to a wealthy whaler’s granddaughter. Living among her ancestors’ stolen artefacts, she uncovers Sir Cole’s horrific crimes. Embracing her Matakite powers, Mary becomes Mārama and must save Anne and avenge her family by destroying him. With gorgeous set and costume design and a ferocious performance by Ariaana Osborne, Mārama is a breathtaking gothic feast as well as an important statement in feminism and decolonization.
