Congratulations to the six filmmakers whose short films were selected by Christine Jeffs to contend for the awards on this year’s
New Zealand’s Bestshort film programme. For the fourth year in a row, we will be showcasing a fantastic selection of shorts from established filmmakers and up-and-coming talent alike.
Attend a screening in Auckland, Wellington, Dunedin or Christchurch and you’ll be crowd-funding our Audience Award: 25% of the box office goes to the film ranked top by Auckland and Wellington audiences. We’ve been delighted by the popularity of this contest over the last three years, and look forward to some lively screenings in 2015.
NZIFF programmers Bill Gosden and Michael McDonnell viewed 75 submissions to make a shortlist of 12 from which Christine selected these six finalists. A jury of three will select the winners of the $5,000 Madman Entertainment Jury Prize for Best Film and the $3,000 Wallace Friends of the Civic Award. A separate jury appointed by the New Zealand Cinematographers Society will present the Allen Guilford Cinematography Award of $2,000 and an engraved pan glass.
Further short films, not least the
Ngā Whanaunga programme of Māori and Pasifika shorts, are yet to be announced.
