Submissions are encouraged from both up-and-coming and established filmmakers who would like the opportunity to have their film screened as part of the festival.In the spirit of promoting, distributing and exhibiting innovative media art, the Moving Image Centre annually presents Homegrown as a well-established and dynamic platform for bringing the innovative work of the independent film and digital media community to a diverse national and international audience.

All three categories within the Homegrown program consistently attract cutting-edge and eminently viewable talent from both up-and-coming and established filmmakers wanting to present their work at the highest level of film festival exhibition in this country.

From the poignant to the skilfully irreverent the Homegrown program aims to support a uniquely contemporary New Zealand cinematic vision.

The organisers welcome recommendations or compilation tapes of potential work and are more than willing to contact any recommended candidates directly.
