2003 New Zealand Film Awards The 2003 New Zealand Film Awards were held on 8 December 2003 in Auckland . After there had been no New Zealand film awards in 2002, previous organiser the New Zealand Academy of Film and Television Arts had originally announced its intention to again host a film awards for 2003, but later withdrew, claiming insufficient sponsorship to stage the awards. However, a group from the film industry , led by the New Zealand Film Commission and government agency New Zealand Trade and Enterprise , raised enough sponsorship to host the awards. Feature film Whale Rider dominated the awards with nine wins, and short film Two Cars , One Night won three of the four short film prizes.Nominees and winners There were 16 feature film categories, five digital feature categories and four short film categories.
