A search of IMDb shows that a few silent features were produced by New Zealand, including The Te Kooti Trail (1927), Rewi's Last Stand (1925), The Bush Cinderella (1928), Under the Southern Cross (1927) and My Lady of the Cave (1922). Unfortunately, though several of these films survive (and are occasionally shown at film festivals and such), they aren't on DVD.
However, it seems the country produced zero feature films in the 1930s, one feature film in the 1940s, one feature film in the 1950s, and a handful in the 1960s. Hmm.
However, there were during the 1940s and 1950s various non-fiction/newsreel short subjects. I came across a YouTube channel with a lot of them, though I haven't viewed any yet.

Unfortunately, most of them aren't listed on IMDb. Someone should correct this.
