Photo Movie Set (Hokitika)
Attention, film enthusiasts! I’ve uncovered some amazing old photos from 1913-1930 . Among them are movie stills from British Producers “The Unsleeping Eye” and the “The Kingdom of Twilight”, which were filmed in Papua New Guinea of which they touted as being about “the most savage island in the world”.
These movie stills offer a glimpse into a bygone era. The photos capture scenes from the movie, as well as a portrait of Captain Stevens, one of Australia’s best known announcers at the time.
If you’re a film buff or interested in Papua New Guinean history, you’ll definitely want to take a look at these. I’d love to hear if anyone else has come across information or memorabilia related to these movies or the filmmaking in Papua New Guinea during that era.
