The Te Kooti Trail

The Te Kooti Trail is a 1927 New Zealand film. It premiered at the Strand Theatre, Auckland onNovember 1927 and was billed as New Zealands greatest production.

A nitrate print of The Te Kooti Trail was part of the Film Librarys archive collection transferred to the Film Archive in 1984. At that time decomposing sections of nitrate were removed and transferred to safety film. Subsequent preservation work was carried out as need and finance dictated. With support from UNESCO, the last of the nitrate was transferred in 1994 and the preservation process was completed. In 2000 the Film Archive won the Haghefilm Award and the full restoration was achieved. This gloriously restored, tinted print of The Te Kooti Trail premiered at Le Giornate del Cinema Muto, Italy in 2001, aptly concluding the celebration of Haywards centenary putting him among his international peers.
