Moa certainty for new NZ Film Awards
Moa certainty for new NZ Film Awards
Annual recognition for the New Zealand film industry is assured for the next three years with the announcement of the Rialto Channel New Zealand Film Awards, also known as The Moas.
Recent years saw an event that combined the film and television industries, but in 2012 it was announced that films would no longer be included, and an independent event - The Sorta Unofficial New Zealand Film Awards - were hurriedly organised to fill the gap. The event's success lead to discussions between its producers and the NZ Film Commission, who gave their backing to the new awards.
