‘Marlon Williams: Ngā Ao E Rua – Two Worlds’ Hits the Big Screen

The highly anticipated documentary Marlon Williams: Ngā Ao E Rua – Two Worlds celebrated its world premiere in Tāmakai Makarau Auckland on Tuesday, 29 April and is now playing in cinemas across Aotearoa.

The documentary, edited by DEGANZ member Josh Yong and directed by Incubator alum Ursula Grace-Williams, is an intimate portrait of the musician as he records his first te reo Māori album, Te Whare Tīwekaweka (A Messy House).

The film follows the renowned singer-songwriter as he embraces te reo and navigates the challenges and joys of expressing himself in a new linguistic landscape. It illuminates Marlon’s artistic evolution–his classical training, his country and folk roots, and the Māori musical traditions that have shaped him. In the heartfelt feature, he reflects on love, music, and life, questioning what he truly wants from his. The film is a raw and earnest look into Marlon’s journey of reconnection and self-discovery
