Research into New Zealand’s documentary sector
As long-standing partners of the Screen Innovation Production Fund, Creative New Zealand and the New Zealand Film Commission value the significant role that documentary filmmakers and their work play in this country.
That is why they commissioned research into the state of the independent documentary sector in
September 2007.
The research has two objectives. Firstly, to identify and analyse barriers and opportunities affecting documentary makers in New Zealand. Also they wanted the findings to help determine the future roles of both organisations in documentary filmmaking in New Zealand.
A key trigger prompting this research is the increasingly competitive nature of the Screen Innovation Production Fund, where approximately only one in every six funding applications is supported in each funding round.
As a consequence Creative New Zealand and the New Zealand Film Commission have considered how projects are funded through the Screen Innovation Production Fund.
