The E Tū Whānau Rangatahi Film Challenge is an opportunity for rangatahi up to the age of 24 to create films that present their perspective as young people in Aotearoa.

Māoriland challenges youth to be creative – to use what they’ve got and what they know to tell their stories.

E Tū Whānau Rangatahi Film Workshops are now heading to communities around Aotearoa.

During these workshops, rangatahi will work with filmmakers to create short films in just two days. These workshops are for rangatahi aged 12 – 24, are FREE to attend and for rangatahi of all skill levels.

ABOUT E TŪ WHĀNAU

E Tū Whānau is a movement for positive change developed by Māori for Māori. It’s about taking responsibility and action in your community and supporting whānau to thrive. 

“Rangatahi are our future – they have energy, ideas and motivation to shape their own destinies. Rangatahi have been involved in E Tu Whānau from the outset. They have their fingers on the pulse and are important messengers of change.”

RULES

        1. Rangatahi up to the age of 24 are invited to submit a short film. Māoriland recognises that filmmaking is a team effort and therefore your team may include rangatahi of any ethnicity. Each team must feature a Māori youth in a key position. A key position is a writer, director or producer. They have to play a significant role and feature in the credits of your film.
        2. Use the six E Tū Whānau values as inspiration to create a film that represents your perspective as a young person in Aotearoa. The film can be of any genre or theme – it doesn’t have to directly reference the values. If you have any questions, contact Māoriland at kiaora@maorilandfilm.co.nz
        3. Your film must be no longer than 5 minutes.
        4. Your film must be appropriate for a General Audience (GA). This means that your film may not include explicit language or content. You can read more about classifications here: http://www.censor.org.nz/what/what-symbols/
