The late Barry Barclay was one of New Zealand's most respected filmmakers. Before his death in February 2008, Barclay was interviewed for ScreenTalk.

Barry talks about:

Pacific's creative and independent spirit and how inspiring it was to work with director Tony Williams

Directing the Pacific Films production 'Ashes' - which starred a young Sam Neill as a conflicted priest

Working on his first feature film 'Ngati'

Working with Pacific Films boss, John O'Shea

And what it was like being a "Maori with a camera" in the early days of the Maori cultural renaissance
