Join us as a filmmaker for the Two Minutes of Good Stuff Film Festival!

This year's theme, "The Stars Among Us", invites filmmakers to capture the extraordinary local groups whose actions light up their communities. Much like the stars of Matariki that guide and inspire, this theme celebrates the people whose efforts positively shape and uplift those around them. Whether through acts of kindness, leadership, or collaboration, these stars make an impact that ripples out, creating brighter futures for our region and Aotearoa.

The films will be featured at a ticketed premiere on the 19th June during National Volunteer Week and will celebrate the spirit of volunteerism and community. Following the event, the films will be published across the Gisborne Volunteer Centre’s marketing channels and made available to the featured organisations as a valuable promotional tool to further their mission and inspire others.
