Auckland based husband and wife film-makers Chris Pryor and Miriam Smith are shifting to New York for as long as the $80,000 they've just been awarded lasts them. Chris and Miriam have just won this year's Art's Foundation's Harriet Friedlander New York Residency, on the strength of their critically-acclaimed documentary features The Ground We Won, and How Far is Heaven, about the sisters of Compassion in New Zealand's Jerusalem.

They're celebrating their residency by making their multi award-winning How Far is Heaven free to view.
