E Tu Whānau Rangatahi Film Awards

10:00 AM, Thu 16 Mar
Māoriland Hub

Celebrate the creativity of rangatahi at the 10th E Tu Whānau Rangatahi Film Awards!

E Tu Whānau is a movement for positive change developed by Māori for Māori. In 2014, E Tu Whanau was Māoriland's first partner, enabling Māoriland to lead free film workshops to rangatahi in communities across Aotearoa. Over the past ten years, over 500 ETW short films have been created by rangatahi and screened to thousands of rangatahi and their whanau.

Celebrate 10 years of the E Tu Whanau Rangatahi Film Awards at MFF2023.

The films made in this year's awards come from Otaki, Kaitaia, Whakatane, Turanga Nui a Kiwa, Rotorua & Te Araroa.

Aroha, tikanga, mana/manaaki, korero awhi, whanaungatanga, whakapapa."
