E Tū Whānau Rangatahi Film Awards
Thursday 19 March, 9:30 am, Ngā Purapura
The E Tū Whānau Rangatahi Film Challenge is an opportunity for rangatahi up to the age of 24 to create films from their perspective as young people in Aotearoa.
This programme introduces young people to their own ability to create screen stories. It is the first step in the Māoriland Charitable Trust’s rangatahi pathway which supports rangatahi storytellers into the screen industry.
It’s about empowering rangatahi to tell their own stories through film. Films screened in this session were made by rangatahi aged 12 – 24 during workshops in Kaitaia, Hokianga, Tāmaki Makaurau, Kirikiriroa, Rotorua and Ōtaki in 2019. In each workshop rangatahi were asked to respond to E Tū Whānau’s six values;
- Tikanga
- Aroha
- Kōrero Awhi
- Whakapapa
- Whakawhaungatanga
- Mana/Manaaki
The films presented in this screening are powerful short films that range in subject from bullying, to whakapapa stories and pakiwaitara, political events, identity and more.
These are the stories of our rangatahi, now.
Celebrate rangatahi storytelling at the annual E Tū Whānau Rangatahi Film Awards!
Recommended for rangatahi 13 +
