Info

It’s great that the AFCI Cineposium brings film commissioners together to learn and exchange information and best practice. Ultimately it helps filmmakers like me who work in a variety of locations and rely on the local film office to partner with our production teams on the ground. It’s even better news that Cineposium 2008 will be in Wellington. The region is a terrific environment for filmmaking and filmmakers. The residents and local government are incredibly enthusiastic, helpful and friendly. You could expect me to say that, since my businesses are based in Wellington — but I live and work here by choice. Come and experience everything here that inspires and supports our world class film industry. — Peter Jackson, Filmmaker A F C I C i n e p o s i u m 0 8
“The world is changed. I feel it in the water. I feel it in the earth. I smell it in the air.” — Galadriel from Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring Everyone in the entertainment industry senses the far-reaching changes that are coming in the media revolution. Already in today’s landscape, a video game can generate $300 million in its first 24 hours on the shelf, and production technology is advancing with new formats and new channels of communication on a daily basis. To survive, film commissioners must be able to read the trends, and continually evaluate how to stay competitive. There’s no better investment in your staff and office than AFCI’s Cineposium o8, and no better place than Wellington, New Zealand. Along with three signature courses offered by AFCI University, CIneposium 08 will take a hard look at how the industry is changing and its impact on film commissioners around the world. The successes of the New Zealand entertainment industry and film-related tourism provide the perfect platform for developing a model for our future. In this guide, you’ll find descriptions of each session in our 2-day Cineposium event, sessions that will give participants a clearer picture of the future of the industry as it pertains to film commission work. You’ll also get a rundown of our AFCI University offerings, courses that can lead toward AFCI certification or that can enhance the knowledge and skill set of AFCI film commission staff. In all, there has never been a greater need for the kind of information Cineposium o8 will provide. We’ll see you in Wellington. A F C I C i n e p o s i u m 0 8
