The Belladonna Film Trust aims to provide resources
and education to the film making community and cinema-going
public in the Canterbury region. Amongst our objectives, we
aim to assist short film-makers seeking funding with advice
and support.
Our Trust's primary goal is to develop moving image culture in the arts sector in the Canterbury region,
and to provide a source of education and information regarding the moving image in New Zealand.
The Trust operates an office and an edit suite in the Christchurch Music Centre. Our direction is towards
the development of a "grass roots" support network for filmmakers, both accomplished and emergent, and any
one with an interest in cinema.
The Trust is a charitable trust managed by five permanent trustees who meet regularly to manage its project
and operations. You can contact them at office@belladonna.org.nz. Our office adminisrator, Maree Whitworth, can be contacted on Friday mornings at our office on (03) 365 6151 for inquires and for equipment bookings.
