Abstract	This article emerges from a wider study on bicultural film archiving practice. It focuses on Jonathan Dennis as a subject of (my) archiving, and as a distinctive archivist himself in relation to a specific archive at a particular moment. Dennis' practice differed significantly from North American and European conventions contemporaneous with his life work. The charismatic founding director of Nga Taonga Sound & Vision (formerly The New Zealand Film Archive) Jonathan Dennis (1953-2002) became a conduit for tensions and debates during the 1981-2002 period in relation to indigenous and non indigenous presentation of (film) archival materials. This resulted in a film archive and curatorship practice which differed significantly from that of the North American and European archives he originally sought to emulate. As a Pakeha (non Maori/indigenous New Zealander) with a strong sense of social justice he argued for an awareness of geographical location and cultural context in his work. He supported a philosophical shift in archival practice, by engaging indigenous peoples in developing creative and innovative exhibitions and programmes from the 1980s period until his death.
