In the wake of Covid-19, the Government announced a screen sector recovery package. This package includes a Premium Productions for International Audiences Fund of $50m to support the production of high-quality feature films or series dramas that tell strong Aotearoa New Zealand stories with international appeal.
This session opened with an address from Hon. Carmel Sepuloni (Minister for Arts, Culture and Heritage) who launched the Premium Productions for International Audiences Fund (Pūtea Kiriata Hiranga – Premium Fund) at the Big Screen Symposium. Then producer Emma Slade talked to Annabelle Sheehan (NZ Film Commission), Cameron Harland (NZ On Air) and Larry Parr (Te Māngai Pāho) asking questions about the fund.
Essential information on the fund and the guidelines are available on the NZFC website.
This podcast and others from previous Big Screen Symposiums are available on our website and on Podbean, Apple and Spotify. More podcasts from #BigScreen2020 will be available in 2021.
