Special Preview Screening: Prime Minister

✨ Special Preview Screening: Prime Minister ✨

Be among the very first to experience Prime Minister at this exclusive preview screening—ahead of its commercial release at the end of September.

This powerful new documentary offers an intimate look at the Right Honorable Dame Jacinda Ardern, New Zealand’s 40th Prime Minister. From navigating unprecedented crises to implementing bold policies, becoming only the second leader in history to give birth in office, and redefining global expectations of empathy and inclusivity in leadership—this is a portrait of a woman who changed the way the world sees power.

Following the screening, join producer Cass Avery in conversation as she shares insights into the making of the film.

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.
