SUMMARY:Nowhere to Be\, campaign closes
DESCRIPTION:‘NOWHERE TO BE’ is an intimate portrait of humanity shot during the global coronavirus pandemic\, pulling back the curtain on those who are usually behind the camera – showing that the need to create will always endure. \nIt’s April 2020. As the COVID-19 pandemic ravages the world\, humanity is brought to a standstill. All ages\, races\, and genders are suddenly united in experience. As people grapple with the consequences\, 31 cinematographers across 21 countries turned to an integral part of human nature: storytelling. They did this in the only way they knew how with a camera in hand. Using their art to look inward. Examining reflections\, hopes\, dreams and regrets. Uncovering the human experience of a moment in time that will define a generation. \nFilmmaker Charlotte Evans is an award-winning documentary\, music video\, and commercial director. Since starting her career as an editor in London\, Charlotte has directed\, produced and edited music videos for artists such as Benee\, Kimbra and Aldous Harding. She is currently in post-production on her first feature documentary Being Chlöe\, developed from her short OK Chlöe. \n

SUMMARY:Interference - campaign closes
DESCRIPTION:1980s New Zealand\, where being gay means hiding in plain sight and local homophobes\, backed by the Far Right churches of Reagan’s America\, are hell bent on destroying any liberal fantasies of change. With money and power behind them\, they wage open warfare on New Zealanders fighting for their right to be different. \nIt was brutal\, it was dangerous\, at times it was funny as hell … and it changed our nation forever. \nThere’s no director in the country who can tell this story with more passion and authenticity. Welby Ings (Punch\, Sparrow\, Boy) knows the story intimately. In the early 80s\, he started his small town’s three person pressure group\, Gay Rights of Taihape. Arrested several times and with his teaching career under threat\, he threw himself into the national campaign\, protesting\, infiltrating and interfering as much as possible with the opposition.
