Measurable Language Outcomes

Te Māngai Pāho contines to emphasize the language requirements of proposals seeking funding. Te Māngai Pāho understands the challenges producers face in balancing language outcomes against pure entertainment value; however, they continue to encourage producers plan for programme specific language outcomes. Producers that are creative in the development (Language Plan) and delivery (Programme) of good quality language outcomes will be encouraged. On the other hand producers that fail to deliver in this area will conceivably prejudice their chances of securing funding .

Electronic Proposals

Delivery of electronic proposals: Please note that the only option available for delivery of proposals is via upload to the Te Māngai Pāho website.

1. Applicants register with Te Māngai Pāho to be allocated a User Name and Password to facilitate delivery of the proposal to a personalised FTP folder accessible via the TMP website.

Tā te Ao Māori 2012

Feb 2012

Tā te Ao Māori: Writing the Māori World

Convenors: Brad Haami and Paul Diamond

Vaughan Park Retreat Centre: 17^th – 19^th February 2012

Since 2007, the Michael King Writers’ Centre has offered a series of workshops for emerging writers of all ages at its restored Signalman’s House in Devonport. In 2009, with the generous assistance of an ARST grant, the Centre organised the first of an annual series of symposium style Residential Workshops, continued since with a grant from the ASB Community Trust. These are limited to 24 emerging and mid-career writers and cover different forms of writing. The 2009 Residential Workshop, Shifting Sands: Changing Perspectives in History and Biography reflected Michael King’s major interests. The 2010 Residential Workshop took a more intensive look at biography with Truth Lies Somewhere: Biography, Autobiography and Memoir.

Tā te Ao Māori has been designed as a inspirational workshop to encourage experienced writers (Māori and Pākeha) with a specialised interest in writing the Māori world. Convenors Paul Diamond and Brad Haami attended previous Residential Workshops as participants and speakers, and felt the time was right for such a development. The workshop will offer stimulating discussion on writing in a number of key areas: writing in te reo Māori, translation, adaptation, history and approaches to biography, with a special focus on writing for future publishing formats. Speakers may discuss, among other things, the inspiration, dedication and organisation it takes to complete and publish major work, and also their experiences in research, writing, and book and web publishing.

Over three days and two nights, participants have opportunities to discuss issues with speakers and publishers and to report on their current projects. Writers gain much from the interaction and intensity of a long weekend retreat in the company of colleagues and respected professionals, and Vaughan Park offers the ideal setting for such in-depth discussions.

The Venue

The atmosphere will be relaxed, informal and designed to enable maximum enjoyment of the location. The Long Bay Regional Park has a superb beach and a cliff-top walk with extensive views over the islands of theHauraki Gulf. The Vaughan Park Retreat Centre overlooks the beach and offers a variety of lounges and meeting rooms and has a restaurant extending onto a large deck. Living accommodation consists of a series of houses, each with a central lounge opening onto a garden courtyard, two bathrooms and six individual rooms with bed, desk, hand basin and wardrobe.

Go to www.vaughanpark.org.nz for more about the venue.

Programme and Speakers

Confirmed speakers and chairs to date are writers Witi Ihimaera, Merimeri Penfold, Anne Salmond, Monty Soutar, Aroha Harris, Jock Phillips, Basil Keane, Paul Moon, Jane McRae, Darryn Joseph, Brad Haami, Paul Diamond and Peter Simpson and publishers Robyn Bargh, Bridget Williams, Geoff Walker, Sam Elworthy and Bob Ross. In tune with the collegial nature of the residential workshop, some speakers also act as Chairs, and most speakers stay on for a meal and attend another session or two. The programme will also include time for attending writers to discuss the challenges of their own particular projects – formally, though briefly, on the first night, and informally during the longer breaks intended for this purpose.

Go to Residential Workshop Programme February 2012 for a detailed programme

Go to Residential Workshop Speakers February 2012 for profiles and photos of the speakers and chairs.

Cost

The ASB Community Trust has provided support for the planning and administration of the Residential Workshop. This support has enabled the Trust to limit the cost of the workshop to $430.00 plus GST, which includes accommodation for two nights and all meals.

How to apply

The workshop is limited to 24 applicants. Writers applying to attend the workshop should have some publishing record or be specialists in their field. It is envisaged that, as well as writers who have already published work about the Māori World, applicants may include experienced writers from other fields who have recently started writing in the area and those who have published articles or chapters and may be preparing a book based on their thesis or research.

Applications should be made to the address below by 31 August 2011 and include a writing CV. Registration forms will be sent to those accepted by 18 September 2011. Payment is due following acceptance.

Go to Residential Workshop Application February 2012 to download, print and complete the application form. Please send the application form and your writing CV to the address below, or scan and email to workshop@writerscentre.org.nz.

E ngā mana, e ngā reo, koutou hoki e noho ana i roto i ngā kainga maha ō te mōtu, tēnā koutou i roto i te āhuatanga o te wā.

The All Blacks won the Rugby World Cup much to the relief of the entire country. A new goverment has been elected and the machinations into whose on which side make for entertaining politics for a while.

Meanwhile some look forward to summer breaks while others wonder how the hell they are going to pay the rent as contracts end for the year with prospects for 2012 a distant promise.

Ngā Aho Whakaari is joining other screen industry bodies for a Joint Industry Christmas Party on Thursday 15th September. But before we celebrated the end of a rather long year the Ngā Aho Whakaari Board spent the day working on the constitution and strategy for our organisation.

Ngā AhoWhakaari was founded 15 years ago and works to adapt and set in place robust administration so we can continue to develop to meet the needs of its members and associates.

Next year promises to be another full year as we plan the National Conference for May 2012 as well as industry specific workshops. We are working hard to keep our members up to date and informed of developments as the industry undergoes radical changes. These include a new te reo Māori strategy and an IT strategy.

Ngā Aho Whakaari wishes all its members, associates and those working in the challenging New Zealand and Māori screen industry a safe and relaxing Christmas, and a creative and prosperous New Year.

Strategic Relationships: Stakeholders

SPADA:

Hineani and I attended the Annual Conference, November 10-11. It was an excellent opportunity for introductions and networking. I also attending a couple of the workshops which were inspiring, in particular Award winning producers Marcus Gillezeau and Ellenor Cox and the approach they took with Storm Surfers from concept to audience; ‘the Digital Natives? Programming for Younger’ sponsored by Māori TV, and the plans for roll-out of Ultrahigh Fibre Broadband (UFB), hopefully coming to a street near you soon!

TMP

Hineani and I caught up with the TMP crew at SPADA and met some of the new Board. This was followed by a meeting at TMP in Wellington to update Larry and Lynne Parr on our new Executive team and plans for 2012. I feel the meeting the well.

NZFC

We met with the CEO and development team of NZFC at SPADA, which was informative and very useful. I wass also able to meet Kath Akuhata-Brown and Graham Mason in Wellington, to talk about some of our plans for 2012, and how the Work Sector Program (which rolled out of the Review of the Review of the Film Commission) might impact on NZFC funding for guilds and professional development in the future, more on that below.

NZOA

I met briefly with Jane Wrightson, CEO of NZOA and Board member Caren Rangi at SPADA, to introduce myself and catch up. We will no doubt engage further with NZOA as our 2012 plans progress, and it is extremely helpful to have Nicole Hoey sitting on the Board.

MTS

Ngā Aho Whakaari continues to have an enduring relationship with Māori Television at all levels and across all departments, and we hope to continue to enjoy this kind of relationship. Hineani and I met briefly with senior management, and the Deputy Chair, Ian Taylor at SPADA, which was very positive. We also attended the Kawe Mate for Te Kauhoe on Friday 25^th, which was both sad and uplifting. On the 26^th, I was part of the Kōwhiri 2011election coverage. I look forward to working closely with them on planning for our National Hui in March 2012.

SINZ

Ngā Aho Whakaari has recently joined Screen Industry New Zealand, a collaboration of all the screen industry guilds. I attended the first meeting in early October. Members of the Ministry Culture & Heritage (MCH) and Ministry Economic Development (MED), who are charged with implementing the Screen Sector Work Programme. From that meeting I discussed the possibility of a united screen industry (e.g. us at SINZ) developing a strategy to liaise directly with TEC to deliver professional development. I have attached a draft letter which is being circulated among the SINZ guilds for discussion in December/

Te Paepae Atāta

Lawrence Wharerau represents us on Te Paepae Ataata, he has submitted a written report on recent developments.

Te Pūtahi Pāoho

Quinton Hita represents us on Te Pūtahi Pāoho. We look forward to hearing from him.

The Brown Pages

Iulia Leilua is now the Director of the Brown Pages Trust and has contacted us for support in developing the Brown Pages as a web-site, e-book, and much broader strategy than the printed directory. We can discuss this in more detail at the December meeting.

TMP Advisory Board

Hineani and I sit on the Board, but we have not yet met whilst I have been Chair.

Strategic Objectives 2012

1. Iwi Wānanga

Tearepa, Quinton, Kareen, Hineani and Christina have been working on these Kaupapa.

Hokianga: Completed three Hui

Waikaremōana: In planning

Waiāriki: First Hui done

2. Productions

Funding is available to produce short films that emerge from the Iwi Wānanga. These will be discussed in more detail at the December meeting.

3. Proposed Te Reo Strategy 2012 (see attached)

a) Kōrero Paki

Te Reo Club, beginning January in Auckland, a fun, social opportunity to kōrero Māori

b) Reo Wānanga Pāpāoho

Level 5 Te Reo course specifically designed by AUT for practitioners and onset, taught across two Noho Marae, available free beginning March 2012, with another Noho in May. Thirty students required for it to go ahead.

c) Matapaki Reo Hui

Ngā Aho Whakaari will host two National Hui in 2012 bringing together experts in Te Reo and screen production to further develop the lexicon of the Māori screen industry.

4. Proposed Publication Strategy 2012

a) Dictionary: Kupu Pāpāho

To strengthen Te Reo in the industry, the outcomes of the Matapaki Reo Hui will contribute to a comprehensive dictionary and lexicon of Māori Screen Production language to be published in 2012.

b) Te Urutahi Kotāta, 2^nd Edition

We plan to revise, update and publish a second edition in 2012 and make it available in hard copy and as an e-book, available through our expanded web-site presence

c) History of Ngā Aho Whakaari

I intend to seek funding to publish a History of Ngā Aho Whakaari (and our tupuna organisation Te Manu Aute). Much of the historical information for an introductory chapter is included in my PhD. However, I would call for chapters from all those who had been Chair and other interested parties. I think such a text is timely, and it should be published by us.

5. Proposed International Opportunities

After discussions with NZFC personnel, I think there is potential for development of a strategy to take the Māori screen industry, which is unique in the world, as a fully mature and operational indigenous screen sector, out into the wider world to celebrate and acknowledge our existence, share a body of our work and pitch proposals for international investors.

Administrative & Financial

Finances

Ella, Christina and Hineani have now formed the Management Committee, who will meet fortnightly to discuss administrative tasks and oversee payments of accounts.
The final Audited Accounts are due from the Accountant very soon

Interim Administrator Role

Hineani has agreed to continue as a Contractor providing Ngā Aho Whakaari with Administrative Service until October 28^th, 2012

Internet-Telecommunications

Phone and internet services

We have transferred from Call Plus to Vodafone, resulting in a 500% increase in broadband for 50% less contract. Hineani and Ella have transferred their cells to a contract with Vodafone for one-year, thereby allowing free calls between each and the office, and increased free minutes. This will cost $40 per month for Hineani, and $60 per month for Ella (because I have a family-plan on my cell-phone contract. I will reimburse Ngā Aho Whakaari $40 per month for my personal use of the phone, and Ngā Aho Whakaari will cover any additional calls I make the organisation, over and above $20 per month.

Computer

Hineani and Ella purchased a new PC (Lenovo IdeaPad Y560) on November 24^th. It has 8G RAM, and 750G HDD. It will enable Hineani to retire her personal computer and rationalise our files. Also, we intent to upgrade the existing i-Mac for use as an editing suite for footage, news and other collateral we may wish to place and manage on our improved internet presence.

Internet

Hineani and Ella are meeting with a number of IT providers to discuss a strategy for integrating our web-site presence, enhancing the current site, and the Face Book page and explore opportunities around a YouTube or Vimeo channel.

Data Projector

We have secured a commitment from the importer of a light and portable data projector that we can purchase one when they arrive in the country in December, for under $1,000, which we are very pleased about

New Pay Partnership Not a New Dawn for Local Content

Ngā Aho Whakaari is meeting with SINZ (Screen Industry NZ) to discuss the new partnership between TVNZ and SKY Television.

TVNZ and SKY Television claim it will provide further pay opportunities for viewing of local programmes which have already been seen on TVNZ, but its implications for new programmes are unclear, says SPADA, the

organisation representing New Zealand production companies and producers.

“Based on the evidence so far, our members are very concerned about the implications for the future of our television landscape,” says SPADA CEO Penelope Borland.

“Production companies licence their programmes to broadcasters and the terms of those licences need to be properly negotiated,” says Ms Borland. “In the absence of any regulation in this area, the dominant players TVNZ and SKY can force commercial deals that suit them financially and that will strengthen their businesses at the expense of local producers and NZ On Air. That leaves the New Zealand production industry and viewers with a raw deal.”

TVNZ is wanting to take PAY rights for new programmes from production companies for no compensation. That includes programmes funded primarily by NZ On Air, which is legislated to support the free access of the New Zealand public to local programmes.

These arrangements would not be tolerated in other countries, as there are regulatory regimes in places like Australia, Canada, UK and Europe to ensure that those who produce programmes for free-to-air television are compensated for

additional PAY TV rights, because the programmes are commercially valuable to PAY TV operators who make a good return from them.

TVNZ’s Head of Digital Media and Channels Eric Kearly said on Radio New Zealand’s Nine to Noon programme this morning that the main barrier to the new PAY model was the negotiation of rights to content. Mr Kearly said that TVNZ had successfully managed to negotiate them when they were needed, and TVNZ is ready with these rights for the new situation, said Ms Borland.

“It’s pretty clear that there is no negotiation in a scenario where New Zealand’s biggest free-to- air, Government owned television broadcaster in partnership with our only PAY TV provider takes rights to PAY TV for no compensation” said Ms

Borland.

“It is time to end the wild west in television broadcasting in New Zealand,” said Ms Borland. “The announcement of this new partnership highlights the case for regulation in the broadcasting environment.”

Language Veteran Huirangi Waikerepuru Takes Top Honour at Māori Language Awards 2011

Veteran language advocate – Huirangi Waikerepuru; a small, low decile school in Gisborne – Kaiti School; a long standing national total immersion language course – Kura Reo; and an iwi, Te Reo o Taranaki, all took out the top awards at the Māori Language Awards, held in Rotorua this evening.

Huirangi Waikerepuru received the Taku Toa Takimano award, which recognises an individual’s contribution to the language.

As the head of Ngā Kaiwhakapūmau i te Reo Māori, he spearheaded two claims. The first was Te Reo Māori claim in the early eighties and focussed on the need for recognition of te reo Māori as an official language. The claim led to the passing of the Māori Language Act in 1987 and the establishment of Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori. From the late eighties through to 1993 Huirangi, again with Ngā Kaiwhakapūmau, worked with the NZ Māori Council on a Privy Council case, arguing that the government should recognise and protect Māori language as a taonga under Te Tiriti o Waitangi in relation to the allocation of broadcasting assets. This later led to the establishment of the Māori broadcasting agency, Te Māngai Pāho and ultimately Māori Television.

“Huirangi is a passionate and humble man, whose contributions to language revitalisation will stand in our history as perhaps the most significant language achievements in the last forty years. We would have been remiss in not acknowledging his vision and leadership in that time, as such he is truly deserved of this honour” says CE, Glenis Philip-Barbara.

Kura Reo, a total immersion language course and Te Reo o Taranaki were joint recipients of Te Tira Aumangea award given to a group or organisation in recognition of their efforts towards language revitalisation.

Each year a series of four week long Kura Reo, aimed at intermediate to fluent speakers of te reo Māori, are held at four key locations across the country. These locations include Rotorua, Heretaunga (Hastings), Waipukurau, and Christchurch. The Kura Reo are held in the first week of each school holiday break and are conducted completely in te reo Māori. This series of wānanga has been running for over twenty years.

Initially Te Reo o Taranaki, established well over twenty years ago, had a simple premise – to drive efforts towards revitalising language within their communities and in the main ran wānanga, waiata classes and other community and marae based courses aimed at increasing language acquisition amongst its people. This has grown over the years to a Taranaki Māori Language Strategy which seeks to revitalise the Taranaki dialect and normalise the language throughout the rohe.

“Both the Kura Reo and Te Reo o Taranaki initiatives epitomise language excellence, growth and increased use, and these are priority areas in language revitalisation. Their combined historical contribution to the language is considerable and we encourage and support their future endeavours”, says Glenis Philip-Barbara.

The Supreme winner for the contestable categories was Kaiti School.

“What made their entry special and inspiring was the fact that much of what they did was determined and driven by the kids and not the adults. They really captured the spirit of manaakitanga in this year’s Māori Language Week theme and in the end that’s what won the judges over”, says Glenis Philip-Barbara.

Other category winners include:

Private Sector: Tokoroa New World; Community: Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Te Rangi Charitable Trust (Tauranga) and Te Reo o Taranaki Charitable Trust; Local Government: Wellington City Council; Government: Department of Corrections; Broadcasting – Mainstream: TVNZ; Broadcasting – Māori Media: Tūmanako Productions (Auckland); Print: The Gisborne Herald; Education – Mainstream: Tokoroa High School; Education – Māori Medium: Te Wharekura o Ngāti Rongomai (Rotorua); Tertiary: Massey University; Māori Language Week: Kaiti School (Gisborne); Māori Language Week – Inaugural: Insoll Avenue School (Hamilton).

PREMIERE SHORTS FUNDING 2011/12 UPDATE

An extended decision deadline has been announced for the 2011/12 premiere shorts funding round.

Due to the calibre of projects and teams that have been submitted this year the final funding decisions have been especially challenging, and after much discussion the EP groups and the NZFC have agreed to proceed in a slightly different way. Seven projects have been selected for an extended development period through to 29th February 2012. During this time the filmmakers will work with their EP group to meet a range of requirements specific to their project and funding for six films will be confirmed individually between January and March.

The current Executive Producer groups who manage the scheme are A Collective Intake of Breath (Maile Daugherty, Michael Bennett), Tauihu (Tui Ruwhiu, Brad Haami, Poata Eruera) and Tom Thumb (Polly Fryer, Steven O’Meagher, Chris Dudman).

E Te Kauhoe,

Te tamaiti ō Parihaka

Te uri ō te maunga hauhunga ō Taranaki

Haere ki te tihi, aa, ki te poho ō te Atua

Mā Kura haupō, mā Kurahauawatea

Haere, haere, okioki atu.

It is with great sorrow and heartbreak that we farewelled our friend, colleague and whanaunga Te Kauhoe Wano this weekend. Te Kauhoe Wano (Taranaki, Te Atiawa, Ngāti Awa) was a popular and highly regarded broadcaster, avid surfer, presenter, director and producer and Te Reo consultant. Toa TV the company he founded with his wife Pirihira produced CODE, Te Hikoi Mahanga which he fronted with his twin brother Wharehoka as well as documentaries and sports programmes. He has three sons. Te Kauhoe was part of the revival of the Taranaki te reo Māori movement and a Board Member of Ngā Aho Whakaari.

Moe mai e te rangatira.

The Rugby World Cup drew to an exciting end. But there were two winners, first of course much to everyone’s relief and joy the All Blacks won the Webb Ellis Cup becoming the Rugby World Cup champions. But there was another winner and that was Māori Television.

Special mention and congratulations has to go to Māori Television’s coverage. It drew a record number of viewers to Māori Television confounding critics and sending other broadcasters scrambling for answers. It was music hearing “this is Keith Quinn for Māori Television”. A job well done.

South Auckland Short Film Workshop: Turn your Stories into a Short Film!

The South Auckland Short Film Workshop held on 15^th & 16^th October at the Manukau School of Visual Arts, in Otara organized by Script to Screen in association with Ngā Aho Whakaari was without a doubt an amazing success.

Congratulations to Jodhi Hoani of Māori Television for having the most outstanding script of the weekend. All the more remarkable as she was up against some writers who have already written and had short films produced.

There were a number of other gems in the workshops which we hope to see at future dates. “Keep writing”.

Script to Screen: Dial a Māori – The Art of Consultation

Kath Akuhata-Brown (Script to Screen Board Member, Development Exec NZFC) interviewed award winning journalist Maramena Roderick (E Tu Kahikatea, Ka Haku Au, Ka Mate The Haka The Legend) and Lawrence Wharerau (The Piano, Waitangi: What Really Happened) discussed at Script to Screen, Wellington what it means to engage properly with Māori stories. Kath Akuhata-Brown writes:

“Facilitated by Kath Akuhata-Brown the panelists were Lawrence Wharerau and Maramena Roderick. About 30 people attended the session. The kaupapa was conceived to begin a korero about the nature of consultation on projects in television and film. It had to do with the idea that in this day and age we are beyond consulting and should be collaborating particularly with Pakeha who are attempting to tell kaupapa Māori stories in whichever genre. In order to articulate this clearly the focus of the discussion was primarily on telling stories of our own experiences as practitioners irrespective of the form these stories were communicated in. It became very clear that in order to participate in the art of Māori storytelling there were several key areas one needed to be aware of. These were: reo, tikanga, craft, creativity, local knowledge, whakapapa, humility and generosity. We acknowledged that the coming together of all of the above occurs with experience, and everything to do with the collective memory and the collective unconsciousness. “

Māhere Reo

He reo e kōrerotia ana, he reo ka ora

Te Mangai Paho recently held a Language Planning workshop in Auckland inviting Independent Production Companies, Te Reo Māori consultants and Producers to attend to learn more about the Māori Language plans requirements.

The Māori Language plans are viewed by Te Mangai Paho as an essential component of each television proposal seeking funding from Te Mangai Paho.

The strategic direction of Te Mangai Paho is summed up in their Statement of Intent 2011-2016 (available online or in hardcopy). “Our vision is Māori language – everywhere, everyday, in every way!” To this end Larry Parr, Television Manager at Te Mangai Paho says the ultimate goal is for te reo Māori to be the language of communication from the engagement with Producers to the Statement of Intent.

The Māori language plans for programmes require programme specific Māhere Reo with a specific language outcome. Language consultant and Producer of Pukana, Pania Papa took those attending through the various aspects of language planning, language outcomes and discussed issued as they were raised. It was a fascinating discussion. One interesting aspect was that it was more difficult to produce language plans for programmes that were aimed at the “receptive audiences” and had limited Māori language. Pania Papa also advised that Producers, Production Companies and Te Reo Māori consultants should consult a number of documents which are readily available as references for their own language plans. These include Te Rautaki Māori Strategy, reports that follow the Strategy, Te Reo Mauri Ora Report, Te Mangai Paho’s Statement of Intent 2011-2016 and also the various iwi language plans such as Iwi Kaika, Whanganui, Raukawa ‘s Whakatipu 2000, Tainui 2050 and Tauranga Moana.

As part of the overall discussion which came out of this fascinating workshop Ngā Aho Whakaari is looking at instigating regular informal te reo Māori clubs and classes which are specific to the film, television and video industries.

Larry Parr says that Te Mangai Paho is a Māori language agency and it’s role to promote and play an active part in the revitalisation of the Māori language. But that role should not get in the way of “good story-telling”.

Nga Aho Whakaari are please to annouce their new Chair and new Board. Tearepa Kahi has stepped down after three years as Chair of Nga Aho Whakaari. Ella Henry was unanimously voted on as the new Chair.

Ella is of Ngātikahu ki Whangaroa, Ngāti Kuri, Te Rārawa descent. She has Bachelor of Arts (1990, University of Auckland), Master of Philosophy (1995, Management Studies, University of Auckland), and is a PhD Candidate in Māori Development, Te Ara Poutama, Auckland University of Technology, which she has just completed. Ella is a Senior Lecturer in Māori Development at AUT, and is the mother of three wāhine atāhua.

Ella writes, “Ka nui te mihi ki a koutou ngā kaihoe o te waka Ngā Aho Whakaari, tena koutou katoa. I have had the good fortune to be involved with Nga Aho Whakaari since its inception in 1996, and believe passionately in its Kaupapa, to empower Māori practitioners, and to represent our interests across the spectrum in Aotearoa New Zealand. This organisation began with that agenda, which has over time evolved and progressed the interests of our constituency.

I have been a member of the Executive, from 1996-2000, and acted in advisory and supporting role, assisting with strategic planning 2001-2003. However, in recent years I have been pre-occupied with completing my PhD, which I hope to finish in December 2011, and believe that I can make a further contribution to Ngā Aho Whakaari in the future. “

The new Board is Christina Milligan, Lara Northcroft, Lavinia Kingi, Lawrence Wharerau, Noa Campbell, Peter Burger, Quinton Hita, Ratu Tibble and Tearepa Kahi.

It is with great sadness that Aotearoa farewelled Sir Paul Reeves this month.

He was a man of the cloth, who held the highest position in the land and believed he lived to serve. Sir Paul Reeves New Zealand’s first Maori Governor-General died this month aged 78 from cancer.

He was Govenor General from 1985 to 1990, and is survived by his wife, three daughters and six grandchildren.

Sir Paul held New Zealand’s highest honour, the Order of New Zealand. At 38 Paul Reeves was the youngest Anglican Church bishop, and the first Maori to head a diocese. He was Bishop of Waiapu, then Auckland, and Archbishop of New Zealand.

Paul Reeves developed a greater appreciation of his Maori heritage through a posting to a parish of his mother’s people in Taranaki. As a Maori bishop he helped the Anglican church adopt a unique bicultural constitution.

Sir Paul Reeves often spoke out on public issues and supported and took part in protest movements.

In 1985 the Labour Government made him the first Maori and the first cleric in New Zealand to be appointed Governor-General. During this time Sir Paul tried to refrain from comment about the economic reforms, known as Rogernomics, but in an interview admitted he feared the process was creating a stratified society.”

He often praised the welfare state that had raised the son of a Wellington tram driver to his position.

As Governor General Sir Paul Reeves opened Government House to Maori gatherings, putting mattresses on the floor marae-style and took the vice-regal office to people outside its normal social boundaries.

After his role as Governor General he took the Anglican church, Maori and New Zealand to the world as an Anglican Observer at the United Nations, election observer in Ghana and South Africa, and helped to write constitutions for Fiji and Guyana . He also chaired the Nelson Mandela Trust.

In NZ Sir Paul chaired the Queen Elizabeth II National trust ,the Bioethics Council and helped select judges for the new Supreme Court.

Sir Paul Reeves was also Chancellor of Auckland University of Technology.

Maori Television again came to the party recognizing the national significance of the passing of this great man and covered his state funeral live!

PAKIPŪMEKA 2012 – Maori Television

REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS

NZ On Air has approved funding for a strand of 10 documentaries for broadcast on Māori Television. We are now seeking two page pitches to consider for this documentary strand.

Specific Programme Requirements

As prescribed by NZ On Air, a minimum of 5 documentaries are to be Māori as defined by the NZ On Air Rautaki Māori policy
Documentary duration to be 52 minutes
Te Reo content to be 30% or less
Most of them must be able to be completed and delivered by end of June 2012. Up to two documentaries may have a longer time frame.

“Knowing Ourselves – Knowing Each Other” is the kaupapa of the documentary strand. This allows a wide range of subsets within the documentary genre; historical, contemporary, profiles of individuals and causes. It also provides a firm principle that the documentary must help us understand ‘ourselves’ – our country, our people, our culture, our heroes.

At the heart of all documentaries submitted there needs to be a compelling story with a fresh perspective.

The documentaries will be assessed and finally selected by a panel comprised of Māori Television and NZ On Air representatives.

All 2 pages pitches must be delivered via emailed PDF (no Word documents) please to this address: proposals@maoritelevision.com by 5pm FRI 9th September 2011. Please ensure you have a name and contact email address on both pages of your proposal. Pitches must have attached the two page pitch cover sheet which is available on the Māori Television website.

Mā Te Reo Funding Opens

Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori announces the opening of the 2011 Mā Te Reo funding round and confirms there will also be another round in 2012.

Mā Te Reo is a community based funding programme established by government in 2001 to support projects, programmes and activites that contribute to local level Māori language regeneration.

The fund is administered on behalf of government by Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori, who distributes $1.8 million annually in the form of conditional grants to iwi, hapū, whānau, Māori organisations and individuals.

The 2011 funding round opens on Monday 29 August 2011, and closes Friday 7 October 2011 at 5pm. Applications to the fund are made online. While we encourage you to apply on-line, you can also submit an application in hard-copy.

“Because this funding pool is aimed at community and whānau based groups, many of the initiatives created as a result of this support contribute directly towards the intergenerational transmission of the language, which is an important aspect of te reo Māori revitalisation. We hope to support many more locally led projects in this year’s funding round“, says Glenis Philip-Barbara, Chief Executive of Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori.

“We encourage iwi, hapū and other community providers to collaborate and work together in the development of their applications. This will ensure strategic and targeted distribution of funding across regions“.

For more information visit www.ma-tereo.co.nz or contact the Mā Te Reo team on 0800 MĀ TE REO.

APN Symposium, Auckland 11-13 November 2011

In 2011, Auckland will host the 6th APN Symposium from 11-13 November, bringing to New Zealand one of the most powerful groups of filmmakers ever to visit this country.

Nga Aho Whakaari will be part in this Symposium

The Asia-Pacific Producers’ Network (APN) is a group of more than eighty leading screen producers, primarily from China, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Singapore and New Zealand. Formed in 2005 with the aim of encouraging co–productions, collaboration and joint projects, it is an organisation made up of powerful producers, studios and distributors all interested in getting business done.

APN Membership is open to experienced screen professionals who are engaged in film production at a senior level. Please contact Michael Brook at Film Auckland for further detail – michael@filmauckland.com

One of the key initiatives of the APN is an annual symposium where members meet to network, discuss projects and identify opportunities. Last year in Korea, over 15 projects were pitched and discussed at the gathering.

APN members wishing to register for the symposium can click the link below to begin the registration process. The first 15 registrations received will be entitled to a $400 travel subsidy.

Members of the New Zealand industry can register online with a credit card for the forum component of the Symposium which is taking place on Sunday 13 November at UNITEC from 9am-3.30pm. A keynote address, panel discussions, and a pitching forum will be open to local industry, at a cost of $172.50 (GST incl.) including a catered lunch.

What’s up?

Te Paepae Ataata and Iwi to nurture tangata whenua film voice.

Te Paepae Ataata, a Māori film development organisation has recently announced an exciting new initiative to make more films in Te Reo Māori. The initiative is ‘Waharoa’ and it represents “an alternative approach to Māori filmmaking”, says Māori filmmaker Tainui Stephens.

The Waharoa project is designed to:

1. Foster a filmic relationship with iwi.

2. Engage the appropriately skilled filmmakers of an iwi.

3. Create Māori language films that speak to their respective iwi identities.

Te Paepae Ataata, an organisation funded by the New Zealand Film Commission, will collaborate with iwi to both nurture and develop their established emergent film talent. The Waharoa strategy will encourage iwi to tell their own stories.

Te Paepae Ataata’s first portfolio will focus on the stories of Māui. Each

iwi will select a writer(s) to reinterpret aspects of the Māui legend in a traditional or contemporary context. These stories will be made into low budget short films that might find a place in a larger portmanteau film feature format.

There is no doubt that the Māori dimension in New Zealand film is both successful and becoming more evident. Te Paepae Ataata exists to nurture and develop ‘tangata whenua cinema’ by supporting the creativity of Māori, whose storytelling traditions are unique not just to this country – but to the world.

“We believe a ‘hands-on’, project-driven partnership between Te Paepae Ataata and iwi is an important step in the growth of Reo Māori film – Cinema that is born of the Māori world within which we dwell. The Maori world is traditional and modern; sacred and profane; individualistic and collective. It is replete with stories of the human condition. The Waharoa project will reveal and celebrate that.” – Tainui Stephens.

Te Paepae Ataata is a not-for-profit organisation funded by the New Zealand Film Commission to develop Maori feature film scripts. The organisation was established in 2008.

The Paepae aims to:

secure the rangatiratanga of iwi by offering leadership and the guardianship of film;
ensure that the spiritual core of films we support is clearly Māori;
advocate for indigenous film worldwide on the basis that indigenous film is given the opportunity to reach its audiences whether that be on the marae or in urban multiplexes.

The Paepae’s processes are driven by tikanga that unlock reciprocal respect for the mana of the film image, of humanity, and of an authoritative Māori position.

Te Paepae Ataata is represented by Larry Parr, Tainui Stephens, Rawiri Paratene, Kathryn Akuhata Brown, Ainsley Gardiner and Lawrence Wharerau.

Do not hesitate to send your application – we happily welcome all new Oceanian documentaries that are made to be seen.

Among the 200 documentaries we receive every year, around 20 are chosen to be in competition and will be presented to our international jury, a group of assorted professionals of the audiovisual industry and renowned members of the cultural sector.

The rest of the chosen films, running out of competition, will be, nevertheless, competing for the ‘Audience Award’.

Besides this main event, a colloquium of broadcasters will be held on several afternoons, reassembling professionals, producers and directors from the region and program responsables. An international pitching event, Oceania Pitch, will be organized for the 3rd time, inviting project proposers to present their ideas to an audience of commissioning editors. A night of Oceanian short films will be opening the festival, giving space to the fiction producers of the region.

The competition is open to all productions concerning Oceania, who have been completed within the last three years. There are no inscription fees. To inscribe yourself, all you need to do is to fill out the attached documents add three viewing copies of your film, and either send them to the adress indicated on the form or deposit them at the office of the FIFO, situated at the ‘Maison de la Culture’ in Papeete.

“Indigenous designs: celebrating stories and cultures, crafting their own future”

The International Day of the World’s Indigenous People (9 August) was first proclaimed by the General Assembly in December 1994, to be celebrated every year during the first International Decade of the World’s Indigenous People (1995 – 2004).

In 2004, the Assembly proclaimed a Second International Decade, from 2005 – 2015, with the theme of “A Decade for Action and Dignity.”

The focus of this year’s International Day will be Indigenous designs: celebrating stories and cultures, crafting our own future.

This theme highlights the need for preservation and revitalization of indigenous cultures, including their art and intellectual property. It can also be used to showcase indigenous artists and cooperatives or businesses who are taking inspiration from indigenous peoples’ customs and the indigenous communities who may have participated or benefited from this.

It is also a reminder of the responsibility of individuals as consumers, to understand that there is a story and a personal experience behind every piece of cloth, textile or artwork from an indigenous individual or community.

At UN Headquarters on 9 August, there will be a special event focusing on intellectual property in relation to indigenous designs, as well as best practices for protecting indigenous arts and crafts.

Source: http://www.un.org/en/events/indigenousday/

Together, let us celebrate and recognize the stories, cultures and unique identities of indigenous peoples around the world. At the same time, let us work to strengthen their rights and support their aspirations.”

E ngā iwi, e ngā reo, e ngā karangatanga maha o ngā hau e whā, tēnei te mihi atu kia koutou

katoa.

Ō tātou mate tūātini, i takoto mai ai i runga i ō tātou marae maha, i runga i ō tātou papa kainga, i

roto i ō tātou whare, kua uhia rātou ki ngā taumata kōrero e tika ana hei poroporoaki i a rātou. Nā

Matariki marks the end of one year and the dawing of the new. We recall those who have passed,

we mourn those who at this time leave us, and we bless the gifts of life in its many forms.

Ngā Aho Whakaari mourns the passing of Jim Vivieaere.

After a long illness, New Zealand-based artist and independent curator

James Earnest (Jim) Vivieaere passed away peacefully on June 3 in Auckland

surrounded by family and friends. He died at the age of 63.

Jim of Rarotongan descent, was a respected artist and a passionate advocate

for the pacific contemporary art form.

One of his most significant contributions to New Zealand art was Bottled

Ocean (1994), the first survey exhibition of contemporary Pacific Island art in

the country. In 2007, he exhibited in the major exhibition Le Folauga at the

Auckland Museum. This exhibition travelled to Taiwan in 2008 and was

shown at the Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts.

Jim Vivieaere returned to the Kaohsiung Museum in 2009 as co- curator to the exhibition The Great Journey:

In Pursuit of the Ancestral Realm featuring NZ artists Lisa Reihana, Shane Cotton, Virginia King, Greg Semu and

Michel Tuffery.

Over the course of two decades, Vivieaere’s remarkable career included innumerable exhibitions & residencies

both domestic and international. Jim Vivieaere’s contribution to Pacific Contemporary Art and the New

Zealand visual arts scene will long be remembered.

For Jim – my best mate

Na Eliza Bidois

Jim you are:

The ocean that washed my heart

A mountain too lofty to climb

Uncle to my children …

Uncle lollies, uncle money and sweet uncle drunkies

The Marvin Gaye in my soul – singing

Kahil Gibran with a silent moon of you-

The soft mouth of each petal kiss

The Rock … the long time - the hard place.

A Russian without a candle …

A Coconut with boundless milk.

Each colour …

Bombay Gin, Absinthe green

A magenta night

The fire between crimson and vermillion

Hibiscus and sunset

The sweet smell of tiare

You my gardenia

Tahitian dreams of love

And vanilla rum

An island without land - oceans galore

A soul with boundless energy …

Seeking Hawaikinui

Each grain of sand a memory

An elusive loveliness between

the altar of the Gods

And the endless love of

Papatuanuku.

CIVIC THEATRE on QUEEN STREET, AUCKLAND

Saturday 16th July 2011

When Merata Mita passed away last Matariki, we tried valiantly to crow bar one of Merata’s film into the

New Zealand Film Festival – and despite all our phone calls from Pukehina Marae, the film program had

already been locked off. This year, we’ve succeeded — thanks to the New Zealand Film Archive and

Turangawaewae House and the NZFF. A newly restored film print screening at the grandest film theatre of

them all, the Civic, 21 years after its original screening in 1990.

In association with TURANGAWAEWAE HOUSE — NZ FILM ARCHIVES — NZ FILM FESTIVAL. This screening

also serves as a one year anniversary celebration of the work and life of Merata Mita.

Bookings from Ticketek or check out NZ International Film Festival website for other options. Discounts for

Script to Screen Filmmaker Talk with editor Annie Collins about Merata Mita’s classic film Mana Waka

hosted by Nga Aho Whakaari

22 years ago, a Steenbeck was rolled into a small room beside the dining hall at Tūrangawaewae Marae, along

with boxes containing roll upon roll of film shot by RGH Manley between 1937 and 1940. In that marae room

with all that Manley had filmed, Merata Mita and Annie Collins edited and created the seminal documentary,

Mana Waka. The 2011 NZ International Film Festival marks the 21st anniversary of its original screening in

1990 – a tribute to the one-year passing of Merata Mita. Tonight, the film’s editor Annie Collins walks down

memory lane, discussing the story behind the story with MC Tearepa Kahi.

Research on Film Distribution

This week Nga Aho Whakaari as part of their contract with the New Zealand Film Commission has

secured Ashleigh Grant, BMS Waikato University student to conduct initial research into an

Indigenous Film Distribution Network.

He Waka Kiriata is a direct response to Merata Mita’s aspirations for the distribution of NZ/Māori

film. It has not been well understood. Merata had grand designs towards a comprehensive network

that would better serve Māori and NZ film makers. Nga Aho Whakaari are keen for you to share

your views and to be part of this foundation research. Ashleigh Grant will be contacting people in

the few weeks to interview different individuals and organisations about indigenous film

distribution. If you believe you can contribute to this research please feel free to contact Nga Aho

Whakaari.

Planned Hui-ā- Tau

Nga Aho Whakaari are planning an annual hui in Rotorua in December. Planning is underway and

details will be sent out as soon as possible. Nga Aho Whakaari had decided not to run a national hui

this year due to its large number of commitments and the uncertainty of funding in this the Rugby

World Cup year. However in the Television Advisory Hui held with Te Mangai Paho, Māori

Television, TVNZ, Independant Producers and Nga Aho Whakaari it became apparent that Nga Aho

Whakaari’s national hui was one of the few events that attracted across the board practitioners of

Māori in film, television and video from a diverse range of areas from writers, directors, producers,

technicians, administrators, actors and the many other roles Māori play in these industries. The hui

also provide the opportunity to meet and talk with funders, broadcasters. This Hui-ā- Tau will

examine the future of our industry in a rapidly changing national and international environment.

Letter from Katie Wolfe in New York

I am in New York for a month working on a screenplay which is in early development with the NZ

Film Commission. It’s a comedy about a young Māori girl forced to confront her culture, one she has

nothing to do with, when asked to form a waiata group at the Government department she works in.

I am working alongside some other filmmakers in a hot and stuffy Brooklyn apartment. These are film

makers I have met at various festivals and we have all stayed in touch. It’s a lively environment.

I am also accompanying Shane Bosher, artistic director of Silo theatre, to see New York theatre – He

is here for a month long theatre trip and is also in the hot and stuffy Brooklyn apartment.

It is great to have this time to focus on writing. In Aotearoa I am full time Mum to my tamariki, who

both being in Kura Kaupapa means my time is very much with them and the Kura whanau. I value

this time away greatly.

I am also attending Frameline in San Francisco with Witi Ihimaera and Nicloe Hoey.

Night In The Gardens In Spain, now renamed Kawa, is having its North American release.

Kawa then goes on to play Los Angeles, Switzerland and South Africa.

I am very intrigued and nervous to see its impact off shore. There has been some feelings of

disappointment in NZ that this iconic gay novel was not fully realised in the television format.

A central axis of the novel is the juxtaposition of sexual liberation and loss of childhood innocence.

Of course the sex didn’t make it to TV. It’s a pity but I believe, that the fact that it was made at all is

the thing. Also the refocus of the story to that of a Māori Kaupapa has been seen as a colonisation

of the novel – this I find very interesting indeed. It shows how deeply personal literature can be to

the reader.

Kia ora na Katie.

Scope of Te Mangai Paho Funding Assessment Critique

TMP have received some questions about the scope of critique that Assessment Panelists may

venture into as part of the assessment process.

The assessment process looks at the full scope of the proposal including the details of the production

company and the merits of the programme concept and treatment.

This is clearly set out in the assessment criteria published in our RFPs.

TMP does not editorialise in its decisions, the primary factors upon which TMP bases its decisions are

risk and language. If TMP is to be responsible for administering and managing the risk it needs to be

able to decide who represents an acceptable risk.

Where the Assessment Panel believes that changes are required to better serve TMP’s objectives, it

may recommend accordingly. These will encompass a thorough review of the project including the

concept and treatment. Te Mangai Paho is statutorily empowered to set the terms and conditions for

funding in pursuit of its statutory aims.

If the approved funding (sometimes with further terms and conditions as the Board sees fit) is

accepted by the producer, from that point on, only the broadcaster may exercise external editorial

comment over the production.

TMP exercises no editorial control and relies totally on the broadcaster’s advice that it accepts the

programme and language in terms of making contract payments.

The latest issue of Te Purapura, is available on the Te Mangai Paho website:

Aotearoa Film & Television Awards – Reminder

Formerly known as the Qantas Film and Television Awards, the Awards are back in 2011 but

with a fresh look and a new name that better reflects the nature of the Awards – the Aotearoa

Film & Television Awards (AFTAs).

Approximately sixty AFTAs will be awarded between the two Awards ceremonies, and a

Part of the TE WAHAROA initiative with Nga Aho Whakaari & NZ Film Commission

TE ARA KI TE PAEPAE – Pathway to the Paepae

ARA KI TE PAEPAE is a new Ngā Aho Whakaari initiative with the New Zealand Film Commission to develop short films

within IWI communities.

The Paepae Ataata is the dedicated Māori Feature Film Script Development Body. But a gap currently exists, as many

talented Māori may possess aspirations to make a feature film, or may have already demonstrated filmmaking talent in

short film form, but haven’t yet developed the necessary pre-requisite skills and film language to write or make a feature

film.

Te Ara Ki Te Paepae: Waharoa is the first step of the pathway which leads exciting new Māori taelnt from the local Marae

to our script devlopment body, Te Paepae Ataata.

Te Arepa Kahi says Nga Aho Whakaari will dedicate the second half of the year connecting with IWI based talent in five

different areas throughout Te Ika a Maui – the outcome being to develop and create up to five short films within IWI

communities.

Fresh Shorts and the 48 hour short film along with other initiatives, such as the annual East Coast’s ‘Ngati Short Film

Competition’ are all leading the way in developing a ‘do it now, do it together’ approach to film making.

Te Ara ki te Paepae harnesses this attitude and takes it a step further by providing mentorship and funding.

Our next Script Workshop have will be run in Hokianga on the 29th of July.

Others are planned for Waikaremoana in August and possibly Horowhenua or Taranaki later in the year.

Stay tuned and start writing.

Up dates will feature in our newsletters on our website www.ngaahowhakaari.co.nz as well as on facebook.

Waiariki Journalism Reunion

This weekend on July 2 2011, Waiariki Institute of Technology will host a bicultural journalism reunion at Tangatarua Marae

on its Rotorua campus.

According to the Journalism Training Organisation‟s 2006 survey or James Hollings‟ interrogation of the 2006 NZ Census

data, either 81 per cent or 83 per cent of journalists are European/Pākehā.

The proportion of Māori, Pacific Island and Asians in newsrooms is pitifully low and this has been a structural, systemic

problem for decades.

The Waiariki Institute of Technology continues to train reporters who are aware of Māori culture and values.

The Diploma in Bicultural Journalism, which incorporates the National Diploma in Journalism, produces graduates who are

able to work in a bicultural environment as journalists or in other roles in the media.

The theme is “Bicultural Journalism in Aotearoa – Past, Present and Future‟.

The reunion will provide an opportunity for Waiariki to celebrate the contribution it has made to NZ journalism through its

graduates and to raise the profile of its journalism training.

It will also provide an opportunity for Waiariki to renew links and strengthen relationships with Māori media organisations

and individual journalists for the long-term benefit of the course.

The reunion will be an opportunity to market Waiariki students and graduates to potential employers and provide an

opportunity for Māori media workers to reconnect with the course as well as with each other.

The hui is open to all Māori and non-Māori journalists, other Māori working in various fields associated with the production

of news and current affairs across all mediums, Māori public relations and communications practitioners, as well Māori

journalism students, their tutors and interested parties whose work involves Māori issues or Māori media and

communications.

Waiariki Institute of Technology is committed to hosting a milestone event to mark more than 25 years of bicultural

journalism training in Aotearoa-New Zealand.

For more information, contact Craig Tiriana, Co-ordinator Mass Communications, Waiariki Institute of Technology, on

phone +64 7 346 8999, direct dial +64 7 346 8679, fax +64 7 346 8768 or email Craig.Tiriana@waiariki.ac.nz.

Maori Television Announces Changes

Maori Television also announced two key appointments to its Executive team. Veteran television broadcaster CAROL

HIRSCHFELD (Ngāti Porou) is promoted to the newly created position of General Manager Production and former TVNZ

Deputy Chief Executive STEPHEN SMITH to the newly created position of General Manager Digital.

The establishment of the two new positions are part of a company-wide reorganisation that sees Maori Television move

from a traditional broadcaster infrastructure to a more fit-for-future model. Both positions report to the Chief Executive.

With almost 25 years’ experience in the television industry CAROL HIRSCHFELD has worked as a news reporter, presenter,

director, producer and executive producer. Carol joined Maori Television two years ago as the Head of Programming for

the Maori Television channel. Prior to her appointment, Carol was with TV3 for 11 years where she co-presented 3 News

and was an executive producer of Campbell Live.

STEPHEN SMITH rose to the position of Deputy Chief Executive and Head of Content at TVNZ after 16 years before leaving

in 2006 to become Head of Media Entertainment for Vodafone. Stephen was then appointed Group Head of Digital for

Fairfax Media, where he had oversight for the re-launch of their websites including www.stuff.co.nz.

Chief Executive, Jim Mather, acknowledges the experience and skill set that Hirschfeld and Smith bring to Maori

Television’s Executive team.

“Carol and Stephen bring a wealth of industry knowledge to their new roles. These are significant appointments for Maori

Television and will add further leadership depth and expertise to our organisation. Both bring with them a personal

commitment to Maori Television’s kaupapa to revitalise Māori language and culture through our broadcast and online

content,” he said.

The reorganisation, which comes into effect on 1 July, accommodates the implementation of Maori Television’s digital

strategy and the further development of the Te Reo channel.

Te Kaea Moves

Maori Television, is revamping its news section with flagship news programme TE KAEA moving to 5.30pm on Monday 4

July. The move gives viewers the opportunity to watch news from a Maori perspective directly before the mainstream

6pm bulletins.

New weather graphics and subtle changes to the news set will also be launched as part of the move to the new timeslot.

General Manager of News and Current Affairs, Te Anga Nathan, says the reasons for moving TE KAEA to an earlier time slot

were threefold, firstly to be among one of the first news bulletins to air each evening competing head to head with Prime

News, secondly to be exposed to a wider viewing audience, and to allow for the 7.30pm bulletin to be subtitled in English

for non-Maori language speakers.

“It’s clear that Maori viewers want to watch Maori news and mainstream news programmes, moving TE KAEA to 5:30pm

allows viewers to look into the Maori world directly before the 6pm bulletins – so they get the best of both words.”

TE KAEA will now replay on Maori Television twice at 7.30pm and 11pm with English subtitles and at 10:30pm on the Te

Reo channel. The 5.30pm addition will give TE KAEA four plays across the two channels each day.

With TE KAEA moving to the earlier time comes amendments to other programmes as well.

Maori language youth entertainment show HAA, from 4 July, will now screen at 6.30pm weekdays and TOI WHAKAARI –

TE MATATINI 2009 will screen at 5pm.

New Commissioner for Maori Television

Haunui Royal, General Manager announced the appointment of Taima Anne Murray (Annie) of Te Arawa, to the position

of Commissioner within the Programming department. He says, Annie is a highly experienced commissioner, having

previously worked for TVNZ, specializing in children’s special interest and documentaries. She has worked as a contracts

and budget manager with New Zealand on Air and as a consultant to the independent production sector for a number of

years. Annie brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to Māori Television and we welcome her as a valuable member

of the Commissioning team.

Te Mangai Paho

This statement by Te Mangai Paho answers a question that is often asked by Producers and those producing programmes

which are presented to Te Mangai Paho for funding.

Scope of TMP Funding Assessment Critique

We have received some questions about the scope of critique that Assessment Panelists may venture into as

part of the assessment process.

The answer to this is that our assessment process looks at the full scope of the proposal including the details

of the production company and the merits of the programme concept and treatment.

This is clearly set out in the assessment criteria published in our RFPs. TMP does not editorialise in its

decisions, the primary factors upon which TMP bases its decisions are risk and language. If TMP is to be

responsible for administering and managing the risk it needs to be able to decide who represents an acceptable risk.

Where the Assessment Panel believes that changes are required to better serve our objectives, it may

recommend accordingly. These will encompass a thorough review of the project including the concept and

treatment.

Te Mangai Paho is statutorily empowered to set the terms and conditions for funding in pursuit of its statutory

aims. If the approved funding (sometimes with further terms and conditions as the Board sees fit) is accepted by the

producer, from that point on, only the broadcaster may exercise external editorial comment over the

production. TMP exercises no editorial control and relies totally on the broadcaster’s advice that it accepts the

programme and language in terms of making contract payments.

Launch Of The AFTAS

Formerly known as the Qantas Film and Television Awards, the Awards are back in 2011 but with a fresh look and a new

name that better reflects the nature of the Awards – the Aotearoa Film & Television Awards (AFTAs).

Approximately sixty AFTAs will be awarded between the two Awards ceremonies, and a complete list of award categories

and criteria are available on the AFTA website www.afta.co.nz.

With the very strong slate of films and television programmes produced in New Zealand over the past year, organisers

expect this year’s Awards to be the most hotly contested in years.

The key dates for the 2011 Awards are:

Entries open: Monday, 27 June

Entries close: Wednesday, 10 August

Finalists Announcement: Friday, 14 October

Craft Awards: Thursday, 10 November

Gala Awards: Saturday, 12 November

Regular followers of the Film and Television Awards will notice that the Awards have been moved back by about eight

weeks from their normal timing in early September. This is a one-off change which recognises the Rugby World Cup

activities in New Zealand across most of September and October.

The Awards continue to be administered jointly by The Screen Directors’ Guild of New Zealand and ThinkTV (formerly the

New Zealand Television Broadcasters’ Council).

For further information regarding entries, go to the website or contact Clare Kelly or Emily Broadley via email at

afta@tcc.co.nz or by telephone on +649 360 1240.
