Lincoln County Incident is a 1980 New Zealand film. It was made by staff and students at Christchurch's Lincoln High School led by the schools head of art, Tony Brittenden. It debuted at Cannes Film Festival (television section) in 1980 before getting a local screening at the Academy Cinema and finishing the year at the New Zealand Film Festival.
Filming took place in 1974 in the school gym and on location at Castle Hill, followed by years of post production. Much of the work was done by the schools students, staff and parents, such as home economics teacher Rosemary Barnett who made the costumes. Brittenden's brother Rob was brought in for camera and studio sound work and musician Dorothy Buchanan composed and produced the soundtrack.
