Industry Support & Training


The NZFC provides industry support through four key programmes: Industry Infrastructure, Festival and Awards, Producers Market Assistance and a series of focused professional development initiatives.


Professional Development Programme

This programme supports individual filmmakers and filmmaking teams to access national and international opportunities for project and talent development. For more information and full application requirements please visit:

Producers Market Assistance


or

Workshops and Training.


Some of our initiatives, like the 1st Writers Initiative, have become annual events but many take place on a one-off basis. Each initiative has its own application criteria and process. In cases where there are more applicants than resources to support them, priority will be given to applicants with projects in development with NZFC.

The best way to stay informed about upcoming opportunities is to subscribe to the NZFC e-newsletter. Please email Reception at reception@nzfilm.co.nz to subscribe.
