Set up in 2004, The Documentary New Zealand Trust is a non-profit organisation promoting documentary filmmaking and advocating opportunities for New Zealand documentary filmmakers.
Its signature events are an international film festival, DOC Pitch and DOC Lab.
The Trust engages with the government, funding agencies, creative organisations, academic institutions and other screen industry guilds to ensure maximum support and funding for documentary filmmakers in New Zealand.
The first Documentary Edge Festival, previously known as DOCNZ International Documentary Film Festival, was launched in 2005 in Auckland by the then Prime Minister, Helen Clark.
The Festival was rebranded as Documentary Edge Festival in 2010 to reflect the festivals' cutting edge program of international and New Zealand documentaries. It also celebrates the cutting edge nature of documentaries in providing an independent and important view of the World.
The Documentary Edge Festival is held annually, from April to June, in Auckland and Wellington. The Festival showcases the best selection of award-winning and critically acclaimed documentary films from New Zealand and around the world.
It also includes a Gala Awards, Q&A Sessions with filmmakers, various social functions and special events. The first festival was launched in 2005.
