AIDC New Zealand Delegation and Co-Production Market
About this opportunity
A Mahi Tahi initiative supporting a delegation of New Zealand documentary and factual producers to attend the Australian International Documentary Conference (AIDC) 2027 in Sydney. Selected producers take part in a dedicated New Zealand-Australia co-production market and the wider AIDC marketplace, meeting Australian producers, commissioners and funders to explore co-financing and Trans-Tasman collaboration.
Application tips
Priority goes to projects that could be structured as a New Zealand/Australian co-production and that need international finance, sales or a broadcast attachment. In your one-page cover letter, say which other AIDC opportunities you plan to apply for, such as Cut to the Chase or the Indigenous Creators Program, and why. AIDC marketplace opportunities need a separate application on the AIDC website.
