A partnership between Creative New Zealand and the New Zealand Film Commission
How to apply | Genre-based information | Animation
The Fund has supported many animated films including claymation / stop-motion, 2D, 3D.
Funding proposals for animated films must include visual examples that indicate the intended style and tone of animation.
There are films available for screening at the Film Archives and there is always a good selection at both the NZ International Film Festival and at the Wellington Fringe Festival.
See the Screen Innovation Production Fund catalogue of films for examples of animated films made with Screen Innovation support, many of which are held at the Film Archives.
