NZFC: Open Funding Rounds

The NZFC has opened the Film Production Investment (June round).

Dates to note:

  •       Closes: 1pm, Tuesday 07 April
  •       Board Date: Tuesday 16 and Wednesday 17 June

Also on offer is the Industry Development Fund, Strand 1.

This funding supports New Zealand screen sector organisations, companies or collectives to deliver programmes that develop craft and practice to help our filmmakers make the strongest films possible. We’re keen on applications for intensive project-based filmmaker development programmes from organisations or practitioners with the ability to attract industry-active mentors and facilitators, and to administer and deliver successful initiatives.
