Institute History
Description
Moko is Maori filmmaker Jillian White's compelling journey with Nga Puhi chief Kingi Taurua as he decides to wear a full-face "moko" (Maori for tattoo), true to the tradition. He is the first to do so since the practice stopped near the turn of the century in the face of colonization and assimilation. Moko is a fascinating and inspiring 10 minutes deeply ingrained with generations of meaning, feeling, and strength.

As you use our Online Archives, please understand that the information presented from Festivals, Labs, and other activities is taken directly from official publications from each year. While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
