Forgotten Silver (1995, NZL) C-53m. n/r D: Peter Jackson, Costa Botes. Featuring Peter Jackson, Johnny Morris, Costa Botes, Harvey Weinstein, Leonard Maltin, Sam Neill. Director Peter Jackson (LORD OF THE RINGS) presents this straight-from-the-hip mockumentary about (fictional) pioneer of filmmaking Colin McKenzie, a New Zealander, whose work just has been rediscovered by directors and critics. His life is traced from his adolescence to the first attempts to make movies - his innovations always coming before the previous record-setting ones. Concept wears thin early on and never creates sense of wonder needed. This seems like a job director Jackson did because he had the time, not because he wanted to do it. Still, some were intrigued by it. Jackson also scripted with co-director Botes.
