The news of the New Zealand film industry's prominent representation at Cannes this year is truly heartening. We eagerly await the release of a more formalised list from the New Zealand Film Commission (NZFC) in the coming weeks. As in previous years, NZFC will continue its tradition of supporting the attendance of New Zealand producers and hosting events to foster connections within the market. In addition to these efforts, NZFC is expanding its focus at Cannes this year to showcase New Zealand as a premier destination for film production.
