AUT the new Auckland home for the Rialto 48Hours Filmmaking Contest
The countdown to the Rialto Channel 48Hours Filmmaking Contest is on, and the Auckland leg of the national competition will now call the AUT Sir Paul Reeves Building home.
“AUT University is thrilled to be partnering with the 2013 Rialto Channel 48HOURS Filmmaking contest”, says Desna Jury, Dean of AUT’s Faculty of Design and Creative Technologies.
“In 2013 we are delighted to be able to give the Rialto Channel 48HOURS Auckland competition a new home in the recently-opened Sir Paul Reeves Building on AUT’s City Campus. This state-of-the-art facility is the perfect base from which to launch this year’s competition and with it the careers of some of the brightest emerging filmmakers in the country.”
AUT’s Programme Leader Television, Diane Musgrave, has given entrants her top tips for the 2013 competition, being held this weekend, May 24 to May 26.
