A Newstalk ZB item and subsequent NZ Herald story, published on July 21, about funding for the short documentary film Siouxsie & The Virus incorrectly reported the Film Commission provided $20,000 for the project and the Newstalk ZB item did not make it clear when the documentary was made and published.
In 2020, Siouxsie & The Virus received $6000 and post-production costs worth $2000 from Loading Docs, which is primarily funded by NZ On Air.
The Film Commission funding was for a subsequent project about Dr Siouxsie Wiles.
We regret and apologise for the error.
Siouxsie & The Virus was published on nzherald.co.nz and other media in 2020. You can watch the documentary above.
