Duncan Pescod Hong Kong’s Permanent Secretary for Commerce and Technology hosted by ANZ Bank6:00pm, 6 Nov 2009
Stage gets set for NZ-HK film and digital entertainment growth
New Zealand and Hong Kong are to share ideas and people across their film sectors following the signing of an arrangement to encourage greater joint film and other digital entertainment projects, including TV games and animation.
While not a full film coproduction treaty, which covers access to coproduction funding and incentives from government sources, the arrangement is widely regarded in the sector as a step in that direction and a treaty may
follow one currently being negotiated between New Zealand and China. It encourages business-to-business contact and investment in content production. It will make exchange of technology and training easier.
Duncan Pescod, who is charged by the HK Government to look after the film and creative sector there, told a HKNZ Business Association and ANZ Bank gathering in Auckland that he was impressed with the passion in the industry in New Zealand.
While signing the agreement in Wellington he visited Weta Workshop and Park Rd Post and saw footage from the recent top rating HK movie "Red Cliff Part 1" partially post produced there. Later in Auckland he visited Henderson Valley Studios and the sets for "Legend of the Seeker".
He told filmmakers that they should regard Hong Kong as a safe place in terms of intellectual property (IP) protection and as an ideal springboard into Mainland China's rapidly growing film and digital entertainment market.
Lewis Holden, CEO of NZ's Ministry of Culture and Heritage, says the arrangement goes beyond film and includes gaming, animation and digital industries. He says the challenges from piracy and the protection of IP - with gaming shifting from consoles to the web and mobile phones - will be discussed between the two industries.
Separately, an agreement on knowledge sharing between NZ and HK's digital sectors was also signed in Wellington. Michael Stephens the Chair of the NZ Institute of Screen Innovation and Nicholas Yang CEO of HK's Cyberport, agreed the organizations would work together to accelerate the plan to build a Digital Innovation Hub in Wellington. The hub is to be built on a 5000 sq m renovated city block in downtown Wellington, near Cuba mall.
Nigel Kirkpatrick, chief executive of Grow Wellington, says Cyberport has already created HK's creative digital community and Wellington could learn from that experience. Mr Yang will be an international advisor to the NZ project.
Mr Pescod's visit took place while Hong Kong and New Zealand officials are working to conclude negotiations for a Closer Economic Partnership (CEP) agreement.
In a further example of the deepening relationship between New Zealand and Hong Kong, an "Arrangement on Cooperation in Wine-related Business", was signed in Hong Kong on October 28.
Venue: Level 29, ANZ Centre 23-29 Albert Street, Auckland

Cathay Pacific NZCTA Trade Awards 20096:00pm, 16 Jun 2009
Orca announced as winner of the 2009 HKNZBA Trade Award
"The best use of Hong Kong by a New Zealand company for its business" was won by Sonar Group (HK) better known as Orca at the 2009 China Trade Awards on June 16, beating other finalists Soueur Design and DQ Company.
Orca received return air tickets for two people to Hong Kong from Cathay Pacific and two nights for two people at The Langham Hong Kong thanks to The Langham Auckland.
Launched in 1995, Orca's performance triathlon suits quickly made waves throughout the USA and Europe becoming product of choice by world class athletes.
Founder Scott Unsworth looked for production facilities around the world, but it wasn’t until 2003 he settled on Hong Kong as Orca’s strategic long term base for product development, production management and logistics. Since then production has been done mainly in China, with global marketing, design and IP retained in New Zealand and European sales handled from Orca’s office in London.
The judges said of the many entries this year Sonar shows the most mature use of Hong Kong’s strategic location and logistical systems to do business. Orca took time to get its set up right as Sonar Group and over the past six years has established a solid network to make best use of both Hong Kong and China.
