Cecil Holmes was a young talented New Zealander, born in Palmerston North, who became caught up in New Zealand’s own “red scare”. Having seen service – he had had a “good war” – Holmes returned to Wellington, his eyes opened about the world. A film enthusiast, he worked at the newly formed National Film Unit, established to provide news on the war efforts, abroad and at home, and to document the post-war recovery.. But Holmes, a man of the Left, baulked at the tight controls exercised by the Labour Government and made works with a strong editorial flavour. A union member who belonged to the Communist Party, Holmes was targeted in an anti-Communist sweep that attempted to blame extremists for widespread industrial unrest. Using reenactments, interviews and archives, SEEING RED depicts New Zealand’s own mid-century anti-Communist witch-hunt carried out as our national film industry began to emerge.. Official Selection: Sydney International Film Festival, 1995
