E Tu Whānau Rangatahi Film Awards 2016

For our 2016 Rangatahi Film Awards we were thrilled to receive 12 films, of which 9 were screened. Once again, the calibre of filmmaking was impressive and we were delighted to see finished films from some of the schools who participated in Māoriland’s E Tu Whānau Filmmaking Wananga (2015/16).

Our 2016 judges were filmmakers Tammy Davis (Born to Dance) , Mike Jonathan (Ow What! And Will Voight (Three Wise Cousins).

KAUPAPA

The E Tu Whanau Rangatahi Filmmaking competition invites rangatahi to submit films of any genre – documentary/ short drama/ animation/music video etc – that are aligned to, or based on, any of the following themes;

  1. Being a Father is Easy, Being a Dad isn’t.
  1. Your Ancestors Sit on you Shoulders to keep your Feet on the Ground.
  1. Leave Big Footsteps for your Children to Follow
  1. The World and all things in it are Treasures. But the most Treasured of all is your Mother.
  1. Kōrero awhi; Your words and deeds for today can make a difference for tomorrow
  1. Aroha; Live life with a generous and humble spirit.

The rangatahi all were clearly inspired and used their  imagination to create a film that was a unique perspective!
