About

GAV Trust

The New Zealand Games Animation and Visual Effects (NZ GAV) Trust is the organising body behind the annual AnimfxNZ Symposium. The Trustees are comprised of leading professionals from world-class international companies, based in New Zealand and abroad. All share the common goal of growing New Zealand's Creative Digital industries and strive to help create international partnership opportunities for companies and individuals interested in engaging with New Zealand.

AnimfxNZ is the cornerstone of these people's efforts, with the objective of creating a stage for the Game, Animation and Visual Effects industry thought leaders, creative minds and development executives to share ideas, exchange knowledge and foster relationships with talented local companies and studios in New Zealand.

The NZ GAV Trust also aims to foster awareness and support from the New Zealand Government for our country's industries and showcase the potent level of creative digital talent our South Pacific nation proudly has to offer.
