Music News - Kodak Music Clip Awards and Fringe Film Festival
18 May 2006 - 0 Comments
The 19th Wellington Fringe Film Festival begins on 12th-15th July.
New Zealand’s independent filmmakers and emerging talent will be showcasing their short films and music clips at the Wellington Fringe Film Festival from 12th - 15th July.
Ex Fringe Film Festival participants include Niki Caro whose latest film, North Country, made over US$18 million in its US release and Glenn Standring, whose second feature Perfect Creature is the first film funded by the NZ Film Commission to secure a US distribution deal with a major studio – 20th Century Fox. Both directors had short films in the Fringe which went on to screen at Cannes where Standring’s Lenny Minute and Caro’s, Sure to Rise were selected in competition in 1993 and 1994 respectively.
The 2006 Fringe Film Festival kicks off on 12th July with the Short Film Programme at the Film Archive Mediaplex, 84 Taranaki Street, in which screening sessions are separated into genres of drama, experimental, animation and documentary. Each film will be followed by a Question & Answer session with the director allowing the audience the opportunity to find out all the tricks of the trade.
The festival also includes a workshop to encourage the development of filmmaker’s skills and a Special Competition which was established to promote originality and innovation within a given theme and timeframe. All films entered in this section are less than three minutes and contain a reference to "Hop, Skip and Jump".
Tickets can be purchased from The Film Archive Mediaplex prior to each session, or buy a seasons pass at the start of the festival.
The Kodak Music Clip Awards provide the finale to the Festival this year. Held at Bar Bodega on Ghuznee Street, the night celebrates the craft of making music clips. Each entry will be judged for all categories: Best Video, Runner Up, Best Director of Photography, Best Editor, Best Animation and The Knack Award - for achieving grand ideas within a small budget. Winners of each category will receive prizes generously donated by Kodak and other members of the New Zealand film industry. Tickets can be purchased on the night from Bar Bodega, Ghuznee Street, for what's guaranteed to be an aural and visual feast of great New Zealand music.
The 19th Wellington Fringe Film Festival is proudly brought to you with the financial assistance of the New Zealand Film Commission.
