FILM ISSUES FOR ELECTION FORUM

Film Auckland Election Year Special
July 9, 6.30pm, AUT Conference Centre

This year's Film Auckland Summit will explore industry issues with representatives from parliamentary political parties.

Judith Tizard (Labour), Chris Finlayson (National), Dail Jones (NZ First), and Jim Anderton (Progressive) will present and discuss their policies affecting film production in New Zealand, with specific focus on Auckland.

The parties have been invited to announce any new policies affecting film production at this summit.

The film production industry is looking for the parties' views on matters such as the Large Budget Screen Production Grant, the rebate measures announced in the Budget, the role and function of the NZ Film Commission and the need for more studio space in Auckland. Film Auckland is inviting the industry to submit questions to be put to the politicians by the moderator.

Film Auckland thanks AUT for the venue and technical facilities.
