Out in the REAL world...


Excursion time.... what fun to be had and so much to learn about filmmaking!


Many thanks to local filmmaker Amiel Courtin-Wilson who met us at the Victorian College of Arts Film & TV department for a chat. A filmmaker with numerous awards and a world of experience under his belt, Amiel was a great inspiration to the whole class. Students were delighted to find out that his first film was made when he was about the same age as them. He showed us some of his films and gave some very honest answers to some very challenging questions asked by the students. We all learnt a lot from him. Amiel's film, Barstardy, is being released around Australia in June 2009. (http://www.bastardydocumentary.com/)



We went along to Little Big Shorts, a film festival especially for kids. The students enjoyed a program of short films from The Netherlands, Bangladesh, USA and Australia. We were lucky to have one of the filmmakers, Tali Ga-lon in the crowd. Students had an opportunity to ask her about her animation Lucille.

Some students took the opportunity to get some shots for their films.
