Travel notes

Being there (almost)


If you can’t make it there, the Worldarama series of DVDs is the next best thing. Murray Savidan’s 40- to 43-minute films give a sense of “being there” and are ideal for cafés, and waiting rooms—not to mention private homes in cities where people want a sense of envelopment and escape. The four films are all Kiwi-themed, aiming at an export market: True North, Black Sands, Coast! and Beyond Paradise. See www.worldarama.com.—From issue 25 of Lucire
