Shoot to Win! - NZCS joins as a prize sponsor

We’re excited to announce a brand new partnership for this year’s Vista Foundation 48Hours — the New Zealand Cinematographers Society(NZCS) is coming on board as a proud sponsor of our Best Cinematography prizes!

To celebrate outstanding visual storytelling, NZCS is awarding 4 x complimentary 1-year Associate Memberships (valued at $207 each) to the winners of the Cinematography Award in each of our four main regions.

This is an incredible opportunity for our winning cinematographers to connect with the professional cinematography community, access industry resources and training, and take their craft to the next level.

“The 48Hours Film Festival is a unique training ground for cinematographers – fast-paced, wildly creative, and packed with opportunities to problem-solve on the fly. NZCS is proud to support an event that continues to inspire and energise our craft.”

Big thanks to NZCS for recognising the creativity and grit it takes to shoot a film in just 48 hours. We can’t wait to see what this year’s teams capture through the lens!
