The World's Fastest Indian
The World's Fastest Indian

Closing film (Out of Competition)
After a lifetime of perfecting his classic Indian motorcycle, Burt set off from his bottom of the world in New Zealand to test his bike at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah. With all the odds against him, he set a new speed record and captured the spirit of his times. Burt Munro?s 1967 world record remains unbroken and his legend lives on today.

Roger Donaldson
In 1971, Roger Donaldson and his collaborator Mike Smith filmed Offerings to the God of Speed, a documentary about the life of Burt Munro inspiring the making of The World?s Fastest Indian. In 1977, he directed his first movie, Sleeping Dogs, and, in 1982, having completed his hit film Smash Palace, moved to the USA where he was signed to direct The Bounty (1984). His films include Dante?s Peak (1997), Cocktail (1998) and Thirteen Days (2000).
