PLAYDATE, New Zealand

   PLAYDATE magazine was New Zealand’s popular movie and music monthly in the Swinging Sixties. Although it was owned by the multi-millionaire cinema baron Sir Robert Kerridge, the magazine reflected the world view of its editor Des Dubbelt, an arts-aware man who embraced the energy of the decade that changed the world. He worked with young talent such as photographer Roger Donaldson and artists Gretchen Albrecht and Pat Hanly to document New Zealand in the 1960s.
