Abstract
Increasing scholarly attention is being paid to the places within which film and television production occurs to capture the geographical dimensions of screen production. This article considers New Zealand's two media cities, Auckland and Wellington, in terms of their screen production activity, their relation to each other and their relation to Australian and international screen media industries. Between them, Wellington and Auckland are responsible for nearly all New Zealand film and television production. Distinctly different screen media production possibilities exist in each city with these cities exhibiting distinct relations of complementarity. Wellington is New Zealand's main centre for post-production and digital graphics, animation and international production. Auckland, by contrast, is the principal centre of broadcasting, TV programming and independent film and TV production, with the TV stations based there as well as much of the advertising and independent production industry. This study places the two media cities within both the global production context and the under-examined regional dimensions linking Australia and New Zealand.
