In an emergency edition of The Fold, Glen Kyne joins Duncan Greive to unpack Donald Trump’s bombshell announcement of 100% tariffs on all foreign-made films. What does it mean for New Zealand’s screen sector?

Yesterday US president Donald Trump announced 100% tariffs on all foreign-made movies. It was an extraordinary and potentially hugely destructive piece of news for the mighty but embattled film industry. It was also extremely unclear exactly what it meant. Glen Kyne joins Duncan Greive on an emergency edition of The Fold to discuss the news and try and game out its impact both globally and locally. They also dig into the latest beats of the ongoing NZME board takeover saga – with big changes to the exec and the potential arrival of Steven Joyce as chair.
