Bill Gosden, who served as director of the New Zealand International Film Festival for nearly 40 years, died Friday after a battle with bowel cancer.
He was 66. Gosden joined the festival in 1981 and retired last year because of ill health."I'm afraid I've entered the cancer world," he said in March 2019. "And I could see that I was not going to be up to continuing to do the job, sadly.
