New Zealand Film Commission Execs Talk Jane Campion’s Pop-Up Film School, Incentives at Variety’s Global Conversations Summit
New Zealand Film Commission execs Annie Murray and Philippa Mossman talk Jane Campion's pop-up film school and evolution of country's film industry.
Campion has hand-picked a class of ten filmmakers from 300 applicants and is taking them through a two-year program where they will develop and shoot original short films. It’s a super diverse group and they have spent a year with Dame Jane, who is not taking a fee and so very generously giving her time. Campion was the first female director to win the Palme d’Or in 1993 with “The Piano.” Other New Zealanders whose films screened at Cannes include Lee Tamahori, Jackson, Fran Walsh and Melanie Lynskey.
