| | Movies | DOCNZ Summit is an annual industry event that includes seminars, master-classes, a pitching forum and a market place.
The DOCNZ Summit 2009 will take place 23-25 February 2009 in Auckland.
The Summit is place to learn and network with local and international professionals from the industry.
The DOCNZ Digital Library will be introduced in 2009 as a further trade initiative to bring international buyers to New Zealand. | | Television | DOCNZ Focus – The Boot Cake on Wed, 15 April at 6:30pm
Funny, poignant and thought provoking, The Boot Cake layers film clips, impersonators, interviews with behind the scenes footage of Charlie’s Adipur birthday party. It is a story of resilience, unorthodox spirituality and ultimately, the power of cinema.
The Boot Cake / Dir. Kathryn Millard / Australia (2008) 75min.
A small desert town on the edge of western India’s famous salt plains is the unlikely home of the world’s largest population of Charlie Chaplin impersonators. The Charlie Circle of Adipur embraces businessmen, shopkeepers, a doctor who prescribes Chaplin movies for medicinal purposes, teachers, engineers, students and a three-year-old pre-schooler. They all share a passion for the silent film star of the early 1900s, with his twirling cane, wobbly walk and agitated eyebrows.
The Boot Cake will screen on Wed, 15 April at 6:30pm at the Academy Cinemas (44 Lorne Street, Auckland CBD).

**********************************************
DOCNZ Membership Programme
We are a not-for-profit charitable organisation that relies on the generosity of the community. A festival is a time consuming and expensive event to plan, organise, promote and to put into action. While the DOCNZ Festival runs for around two months, The Trust is busy year round preparing for the national event, sourcing and selecting the films, printing programmes and marketing materials and working as an advocate and educator for New Zealand documentary filmmakers. While some of our expenditure is covered by the festival's box office sales, corporate sponsorship and community funding, unfortunately this is not enough for The Trust to be able to continue its activities effectively.
The Trust invites you to join us in our efforts to provide a home for our documentary filmmakers, to act as an industry advocate and spokesperson and to achieve our goal of becoming the capital of documentary films in the Southern Hemisphere.

**********************************************
We would like to congratulate our advisor, Prof. Annie Goldson, on the world premiere of her film An Island Calling held at the Academy Cinema on 30 March.
Played before a packed house, the film was opened by the Prime Minister, Rt. Hon Helen Clark, who noted Annie’s consummate ability to bring to the screen important documentaries that take the audiences on a journey and which delve beneath the surface to reveal important intricacies.
An Island Calling is Owen Scott’s journey back to Fiji to make sense of the murder of his brother John Scott and John’s partner Greg Scrivener. You are still able to see the documentary as part of its nationwide tour in the World Cinema Showcase. For more information visit www.worldcinemashowcase.co.nz
**********************************************
Congratulations to Cynthia Wade, director of Freeheld, who has won an Oscar at the 2008 Academy Awards for Best Short Documentary. Freeheld screened in competition at DOCNZ Festival in 2007. We are excited that for the second year in a row, a film that has premiered in our New Zealand festival has gone on to win an Oscar.
