Treaty Summary:

Facilitates and encourages co-productions between the respective countries’ film industries. Most recent agreements adopt a broad definition of ‘film’ to mean “an aggregate of images, or images and sounds, embodied in any material, and includes television and video recordings, animations and digital format productions”.

This type of agreement is intended to promote cultural understanding and to advantage the screen production industries in both New Zealand and the respective bilateral partner, on a project-by-project basis. Subject to the law in force in each country, such benefits are typically: access to funding, incentives and distribution arrangements, temporary ‘free’ entry of nationals of the other country and admission of cinematographic equipment for the purpose of making or promoting a co-production film.
