CAPITAL CHAMPIONS: Cine Queens Speak

CAPITAL CHAMPIONS: Cine Queens Speak

Posted Tuesday 11 Apr 2023

WIFT NZ Patron and Academy Award Winner Philippa Boyens, Dame Gaylene Preston and Dame Miranda Harcourt have all made international names for themselves, whilst remaining rooted in Wellington, New Zealand. With the recent release of Gaylene’s Take: Her Life in New Zealand Film, we take this opportunity to celebrate their careers, their ups and downs, and their commitment to Wellington. 

What has been their career path, what are their high and lowlights, how do they face knockbacks and what do they think about the status for women in the industry right now? So many questions, and so much more to explore!

Moderated by Miranda Manasiadis who has gamely agreed to manage the discussion between these very feisty women!

This special event is brought to you by WIFT NZ and Wētā FX. Bubbles and nibbles will be served!

NZ On Air - In Person (Christchurch)

NZ ON AIR – in person!

Join us in Christchurch for an informative session with Kelly Davis, Associate Head of Funding at NZ On Air. Moderated by WIFT Executive Director, Patricia Watson, we will explore the current funding strategy following on from NZ On Air ‘s newly published direction for the next four years, in their Statement of Intent, and the plans for the coming financial year.

We will delve into details too e.g. Identifying your audience – do you know who will want to watch your programme? What are some of the common funding application downfalls? Where are the opportunities? What is Te Pae Matarau, The Everyone Project Aotearoa, and how will it serve the wider screen sector?

Mostly, it's time in the room with one of our main funders. It's a chance to ask the questions a form never lets you ask.
Come along to connect, have a wine, and be informed.
