The DOCNZ Team
DOCNZ Membership Programme
We are a not-for-profit charitable organisation that relies on the generosity of the community.
A festival is a time consuming and expensive event to plan,organise, promote and to put into action. While the DOCNZ Festival runsfor around two months, The Trust is busy year round preparing for thenational event, sourcing and selecting the films, printing programmes and marketing materials and working as an advocate and educator for New Zealand documentary filmmakers. While some of our expenditure iscovered by the festival's box office sales, corporate sponsorship and community funding, unfortunately this is not enough for The Trust to be able to continue its activities effectively.
The Trust invites you to join us in our efforts to provide a home for our documentary filmmakers, to act as an industry advocate and spokesperson and to achieve our goal of becoming the capital of documentary films in the Southern Hemisphere.
