Every title that is shown on the NZ On Screen site has to have copyright cleared. It turns out that for each title this is a different process. Some straightforward, some needing a lot of communication, conversations, demos and meetings.
Our rights team recently met with Ian Mune to discuss access to Winners & Losers (1976) and Derek (1974). These programmes were produced and directed by Ian Mune and Roger Donaldson – and we’re happy to say, they’re going to be on our site!

Right now the NZ On Screen team is totally focussed on content acquisition. The site has been designed and developed and now a lot of content needs to be pulled together for launch! This means digitising film and television programmes – which is happening at the Film Archive and at the Dub Shop – as well as researching, finding photographs, and writing perspectives and profiles for key cast and crew.
We will put nothing online that does not have copyright clearance. This is a massive undertaking for the Rights and Legal team (Kim Baker and Catherine Juniot) who are chasing producers and copyright holders all over the country to get titles cleared.
