CALL - NEW ZEALAND - SOUTH AFRICA CO-PRODUCTION WORKSHOP

CALL NEW ZEALAND SOUTH AFRICA CO-PRODUCTION WORKSHOP

The National Film and Video Foundation (NFVF) and the New Zealand Film Commission (NZFC) are organising a 1-day co-production workshop between the two countries. The workshop will be held virtually on the 29th of October 2021.

The workshop is part of the ongoing collaboration between the two institutions to strengthen the cooperation in the film industry between New Zealand and South Africa. It also aims to encourage co-productions within the framework of the co-production treaty existing between the two countries.

This is the second such workshop hosted by these bodies. The first one was held in Wellington, New Zealand, in 2013, and the NFVF and the NZFC have arranged regular in-person networking events at key markets, such as Cannes, over the years since.
