The Belladonna Film Trust aims to provide resources and education to the film 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 Canterbury region, and to provide a source of education and information regarding moving image culture in New Zealand. We host an annual festival of short films and have an editing station for hire in St Albans.
