Abstract

This practice-led research project explores dementia from an Aotearoa New Zealand Pasifika perspective, advancing empathy and understanding towards the condition. By drawing upon existing knowledge of Pasifika dementia in Aotearoa, I have situated my short film within the context of existing dementia-related short films. Utilising autoethnographic and heuristic methodologies, I have developed a narrative that allowed me, as the researcher, to investigate this condition despite not having dementia myself. Throughout the production process, I have employed techniques such as storyboarding, case studies, and prototyping, systematically organised within the production pipeline from preproduction to postproduction.
