Puritia is a capability-building ecosystem for Māori filmmakers and digital creatives. 

It has been developed by Māoriland Charitable Trust to be a resource for the Indigenous screen community in Aotearoa and internationally. 

Puritia enables Māori potential to be identified and developed through film and creative technology. 

  1. The Puritia FRAMEWORK outlines Māoriland Charitable Trust’s approach to talent development and production. 
  2. The Puritia INCUBATOR will train Indigenous creatives using the PURITIA framework to grow the capacity of the Indigenous screen sector. 
  3. The Puritia PLATFORM will support its users to:
    • Explore the world of Indigenous screen content
    • Connect with Indigenous storytellers and their work
    • Stay up to date with events in the industry and Indigenous filmmakers’ careers
    • Discuss and share with other interested people

PURITIA will connect Māori and Indigenous filmmakers with their communities, audiences, and supporters globally.
