Community Film Challenge Awards & Screening Night

We’re nearly there!

With the Community Film Challenge Screening & Awards Night happening this Friday, we wanted to send through a few final details so you know what to expect on the night.

Community Film Challenge pairs Wellington's talented filmmakers with local charities for one intensive weekend of filmmaking, turning real skill into real impact for the causes that need it most.

What to expect:

We’ll be celebrating the films created through the Community Film Challenge, alongside the charities, filmmakers, students, volunteers and supporters who made the project possible.
