5 December 2008
The outstanding film-making talent of young kiwis was highlighted this week in Auckland. The winners in the Outlook for Someday Film Challenge were announced at an awards evening on the 5 December. Keisha Castle-Hughes, the Hon Paula Bennett, Minister of Youth Affairs, and other guests were on hand to acknowledge the effort and hard work of those involved.
However it is not over yet! The Audience Favourite award is still up for grabs, so get over to The Outlook for Someday website to check out the entries and make your vote count.
The Outlook for Someday asked young New Zealanders to make a short film about their views on living sustainably. The film could be shot on any kind of camera, in any genre, up to a length of five minutes.
The winning films range from dramas and documentaries, to animation and a video diary. Judges from the television industry, education and youth development sectors selected the 20 winners from a wide pool of high-quality entries.
Four of the winning entries also received special awards, including the Film-making Achievement Award for 14-year-old Calvin Sang’s animated fable Mr Box, and the Sustainable Future Award for Team Waiheke’s film Matariki 2008.
The 20 winning films will be broadcast from 5 December on TVNZ 6 Family on Freeview and will also be available at TNVZ ondemand.
