Member Profile
The Documentary New Zealand TrustThe Documentary New Zealand Trust
Is a non-for-profit charitable organization that advocates and promotes the importance of documentary films and filmmaking in New Zealand to our creative, business and wider communities. The Trust organizes the Documentary Edge Festival and Documentary Edge Forum and Pitching Forum.
Documentary Edge Festival is Australasia's only international competitive documentary film festival held annually in New Zealand and showcases the very best documentary film from New Zealand and around the World. The festival runs from late February and includes an Awards Night, Q&A sessions with filmmakers, social functions and more.
Documentary Edge Forum is a 3-day industry event runs at the same time of Documentary Edge Festival. It includes master-classes, seminars and panels. A key event of the Forum is a Pitching Forum attended by overseas commissioners, buyers and sales agents where selected projects are pitched with an opportunity to earn a commission or co-production funding. Documentary Edge also examine the innovations and challenges facing the documentary filmmaking industry so as to better equip our filmmakers. The Forum is place to learn and network with local and international professionals from the industry.
The Trust is also developing the establishment of Documentary Edge Campus, a Resouce Centre for documentaries in Auckland.
