Moment of Calm: Steam, wind and (just a little) speed.

This week's Sonic Moment of Calm is something of a nostalgia trip.
RNZ Concert host Bryan Crump had just shouted his son a birthday present - a ride in the cab of a steam locomotive - so why not record it steaming by?
Alas, Crump's 21st century recording device had "run out of steam" so he reverted to his mobile phone's microphone instead.
The resulting recording (on the platform at Palmerston North Railway Station) suffers a little from hand and wind noise, but we think there's enough hiss, chuff and whistle to make it worthwhile.
Let these wheels transport you to a happier place.

Chinese consulate asks NZ film festival to can Philippine doco
Chinese officials have asked that a Filipino documentary be removed from future screenings at the New Zealand Doc Edge Festival, saying doing so would be in the interest of Chinese-New Zealand relations. The documentary, Food Delivery: Fresh from the West Philippine Sea, had its world premiere on June 30 at The Capitol Cinema in Auckland — after being withdrawn from screenings in its home country. The film was scheduled to premiere at the Puregold CinePalo Film Festival in Manila was pulled from the line-up days before it aired over what the film creators described as "external factors" earlier this year. It was then selected by New Zealand's Doc Edge Festival — the first to be able to do so. But, this week, festival organisers were asked to do as the Filipino counterparts had and cut the doco from its schedule. In correspondence seen by 1News, the Chinese Consulate requested the festival refrain from all future screenings — if it wanted to act in the "interest of public and China-New Zealand relations". The correspondence pointed out that New Zealand Prime Minister's Christopher Luxon's recent visit to China had been "fruitful". ADVERTISEMENT Festival organisers said the written request followed several calls to ticketing staff and board members, requesting that the screenings be pulled. "The documentary... is rife with disinformation and false propaganda, serving as a political tool for Philippines to pursue illegitimate claims in the South China Sea. Its screening would severely mislead the public and send the wrong message internationally," the email from the Chinese Consulate read. "This documentary disregarded history and facts, and is designed to amplify the Philippines' wrong position on the issue concerning the South China Sea and deliberately distort and hype up the maritime situation." Doc Edge general manager Rachael Penman said they've refused the request and willingly stand by all their filmmakers. "We are a voice for independent filmmakers," she said. "We programmed a film that we felt was really important to be seen and brings up a conversation with so many people. I hope that everyone does go and see this now, and has their own opportunity to make their own decisions about this film." 1News has reached out to both the Chinese Embassy and the Chinese Consulate via email and phone with questions around its specific concerns with the film and why it was appropriate to exert political pressure in such a way. While it didn't address those specific questions, the Chinese Embassy said as a "matter of principle we hope that publicly promoted content would reflect realities rather than spreading mis or dis-information". ADVERTISEMENT It also called for disputes to be peacefully resolved and expressed its desire for "countries outside the region to play a constructive role in this regard instead of doing the opposite". The Philippine Embassy declined to comment other than to say "it is aware" of the situation. Directed by Filipino filmmaker Baby Ruth Villarama, the tells the stories of local fishermen, the national Coast Guard, and the Navy as they work in the South China Sea – with a particular focus on the area around the Scarborough Shoal. Contained within the Philippines' Exclusive Economic Zone, China's had de-facto control of it since 2012 and has refused to accept an international ruling that said its claim over almost the entirety of the South China Sea has no legal basis. University of Otago senior lecturer in politics Nicholas Khoo said there is "absolutely no ambiguity" and the Scarborough Shoal is "Filipino territory". "The challenge is that China doesn't respect the Filipino position, nor does it respect the international legal issue that is at stake here." He said the situation "underlines the importance of New Zealand standing up for the international legal order" and for it to continue to "reassert our interest in freedom of navigation", adding that "there should not be an aggressive use of force to attempt to solve issues". ADVERTISEMENT Khoo said the film clearly contradicts China's narrative and that will be why officials are working to prevent its screening. New Zealand's Ministry of Foreign Affairs responded on behalf of government officials and said it fully supports freedom of expression. In relation to the territorial disputes, it said New Zealand does not take a position on individual claims in the South China Sea, but did want disputes resolved peacefully via diplomacy and in accordance with international law, in particular the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea. In China the film has also been heavily criticised. Commentators with its state-run network described it as revealing a "pattern of selective storytelling that serves broader political interests" and a "propaganda piece" that "dodges the gritty geopolitics of the region and the realities of the territorial issues and maritime disputes". Villarama told 1News today she had deliberately chosen to shine the lens on the people rather than the politics. "Because we really want to celebrate us as people, without politicising the issue. We want to diplomatically reach out and share our personal stories, because the more personal we go, the more authentic we can be with others." She said she held no animosity towards China, and invited those opposed to her documentary to go and watch "so they can know the truth about our people". ADVERTISEMENT "We don't have any agenda. There is no 'Western influence'."

Chinese documentaries expand presence at 2025 Doc Edge
Clockwise from top left: Ai Weiwei's Turandot; Made in Ethiopia; The Dating Game; Chinatown Cha-Cha Photo: Supplied Doc Edge co-founder Alex Lee says the Chinese titles in the line-up shine a light on growing diversity in the world as the festival celebrates its 20th anniversary. Lee, who is also the nonprofit festival's co-director, says he's proud his team has been able to create something that's "so special". "I'm also proud of the fact that I'm a migrant that has managed to do something special for the future and for the history of New Zealand," said Lee, who is Malaysian Chinese. Featuring documentaries from across the world covering a wide range of topics on politics, culture, history, art, the environment and more, the 2025 festival includes seven films related to China. Ai Weiwei's Turandot leads a strong line-up that also includes The Dating Game, Made in Ethiopia, Chinatown Cha-Cha, Correct Me if I'm Wrong, Little Potato and Two Travelling Aunties , with the latter three being short films. Alex Lee, co-founder and co-director of the Doc Edge Festival Photo: Supplied Lee acknowledges that some people might think documentaries are boring or irrelevant, but he believes they're important as a "slice of our life". The Dating Game , for example, depicts how Chinese men have needed to learn how to be more attractive as there are so many more men in China than women, he says. Meanwhile, Ai Weiwei's Turandot reminds people that conversation and dialogue are important even if two opposing sides disagree with each other, Lee says. "There's nothing worse than ... hearing your own voice," Lee says. "The only way that we can become a better world is if we are all able to listen to each other and we don't agree on the differences, but we learn to live with it." Lee says there has been an increase in the number of films submitted from China over the years. "There is a growth in the Chinese documentary sector, which includes not just the industry from PRC [People's Republic of China] but also from the Chinese diaspora - whether [it's] just filmmakers or content." Lee says the growth has been driven by a rise in industry upskilling and support from Chinese authorities and academic institutions. "This is often stimulated by the demand and interest about Chinese culture and issues," he says. "Additionally, with more cross-border travel, people have travelled to and worked with China," he says. "Therefore, there is also more awareness and sophistication with audience interest." Clockwise from top left: Correct Me if I'm Wrong; Little Potato; Two Travelling Aunties Photo: Supplied Lee says the festival organisers are keen to "encourage diversity in voices and content". With more people turning to social media, it is important to bring long-form content that can explore issues more deeply rather than offer snapshots that do not provide the detail and clarity required, Lee says. "Additionally, watching documentaries allows you to understand another person's point of view," he says. "It will help you to develop greater empathy for [others] and it may reshape the way you see them. "At the very least, we want the opportunity for audiences to say they have watched and listened to others. "They may not agree but they can agree to disagree - with empathy and kindness and not within an echo chamber."
