Independent Film Fund update and new artform category
Kia Ora
We wrote to you earlier this year to inform you that the New Zealand Film Commission had withdrawn their support for the Independent Film Fund (IFF) in 2010.
Creative New Zealand decided to continue with the 2010 round but with a reduced investment and revised criteria. The results for this round are now on our website. Due to the withdrawal of the Film Commission, this was the last IFF round that we are able to offer and the fund has now been disestablished.
Creative New Zealand has been researching alternative options, in consultation with the sector, for support of this artform in 2011.
We are committed to supporting artists in creating excellent, innovative and distinctive work and have developed a new artform category ‘Media Arts’ to support a variety of artistic practices utilising digital or analogue technologies within screen-based, electronic, internet or mobile phone domains. Support will be offered to projects focused on research and development, experimentation, the creation of new work, critical dialogue and discourse.
More information about support for media arts projects will be outlined in Creative New Zealand’s 2011 Contestable Funding Guide. The guide will be available in late November.
In the meantime, if you have any questions about this new artform or the final round of IFF, please contact Emma Ward or Jude Chambers on 09 373 3066.
