About us.
NZ On Screen and AudioCulture are essential guides to New Zealand’s screen heritage and popular music history. The websites are produced by us, the Digital Media Trust (DMT).
NZ On Screen is the online showcase of notable New Zealand television, film, music video and web series. It makes screen content freely available to the people of New Zealand and supports and celebrates the screen industry.
AudioCulture (the noisy library of New Zealand music) tells the definitive story of New Zealand’s popular music history – its people, labels, scenes and places. Its vision is to be the go-to place for New Zealand’s popular music history. It commissions and publishes in-depth stories about New Zealand’s popular music history that would otherwise be untold.
