MovieFest 2006 :: New Zealand's First Nationwide Short Digital Movie Competition

What is MovieFest?

The aim of MovieFest is to encourage the amateur movie makers of New Zealand and to promote and showcase the talent New Zealand has to offer. We aim to stimulate the use of digital video editing tools and to foster the use of computers for digital video editing. We screen the entrants’ work nationwide in an effort to encourage and inspire amateur moviemakers and to give them the feedback from their peers and the general public, as well as from our professional judges. We aim to promote excellence in artistic expression by rewarding creativity, technical achievement and innovation.

By focusing the competition towards Primary Schools, Secondary Schools and Hobbyists, rather than Professionals, we try to encourage the development of NZ movie making talent by providing resources and facilitating help and advice from professionals experienced in their field. We're all about assisting in the development of New Zealand's creative movie-makers and exposing them to the nation at large. If you're a seasoned Movie-maker, then we would love your help and advice, pop over to the Discussions email List or the Forums

MovieFest 2007 is just around the corner.
