After ten and a half years as CEO of the NZ Film Commission, Dr. Ruth Harley is stepping down to head across the ditch to helm Screen Australia.
Harley began her career as an academic but quickly moved into management in the film and television sector, initially at TVNZ in the 1980s, then as the first Executive Director of the newly formed funding body NZ On Air.
In 1997 she was appointed CEO of the NZ Film Commission. Harley talks to NZ On Screen’s Clare O’Leary about being a sometimes controversial leader of the central industry body as it faces up to growing pains, and the challenges of fostering a sustainable New Zealand film industry.
