Bayside Film Festival 2008

16 – 19 July 2008
Palace Brighton Bay

Now in its fifth year, the Bayside Film Festival is a celebration of young voices in filmmaking. The award winning Youth Documentary Project screens documentaries created by over 300 students predominantly in the Bayside area.

Local storytelling is extended in our Digital Storytelling project, where first person narratives affirm the importance of youth perspectives in our culture and for the second year, we include Jump Cut, a program for 13-25 year olds.

Opening night features the world premiere of the first in Bayside's New Directions series, the short documentary Cicada by award winning filmmaker Amiel Courtin-Wilson in a screening program that explores the theme of frailty.

We also host a series of workshops and forums that seek to inspire, explore and celebrate the filmmaking journey with some of the best talent in the Australian film industry.

For more information call Bayside City Council Ph (03) 9599 4444 (8.30am to 5pm, Monday to Friday).
