KOBI OPENS IN

NZ CINEMAS ON MARCH 8

READER PROMOTION

I

n a modest workshop in a remote

Central Otago landscape, Swiss goldsmith

Kobi Bosshard, now approaching

80 and regarded as the grandfather

of contemporary New Zealand jewellery,

continues to produce works characterised

by a simplicity and timelessness. “The work

we do comes out of the life we live,” he tells

his apprentice, “so we have to have a life to

start with.” Through the eyes of his daughter,

filmmaker Andrea Bosshard, we watch Kobi

in his lifelong commitment to the daily

practice of his craft. Including old Super 8

home movies, archival footage and family

letters, this film is both a meditation on

growing up and growing old, and a glimpse

into the humour and warmth of this father-

daughter relationship.

The Listener has 10 double passes

and 10 books to give away.
