Richard MooreFormerly at the helm of the Melbourne International Film Festival, Moore’s most recent appointment was as Head of Screen Culture, Screen Queensland and Artistic Director of the Brisbane International Film Festival. ‘As a loyal rate paying resident of Bayside I am delighted to be working on our local film festival. I am a firm believer that we can turn this festival, with its focus on new and emerging documentary filmmakers, into a niche event on the Melbourne film calendar. I am particularly interested in the trove of great local stories and characters and in encouraging filmmakers, through our Youth Documentary, Digital Stories and Jump Cut programs to mine their local environment for inspiration.’ Moore was a practising documentary film maker from 1990 to 2000 before taking up the position of Executive Producer TV Arts with ABC TV. In 2006 he was appointed Executive Director of the Melbourne International Film Festival (MIFF) and in 2010 Artistic Director of the Brisbane International Film Festival (BIFF). With both festivals Moore was responsible for the curating of the film program as well as developing a series of talks, workshops and special events.

The Youth Documentary Project
The Youth Documentary Project is a major component of the Film Festival, Council has now appointed a Project Director and planning is now well and truly underway.
Over a three-month period, professional filmmakers will work alongside media teachers to deliver film production workshops to over 100 students at secondary schools here in Bayside and schools outside the municipality. The production and subsequent screening of youth documentaries and digital stories is a unique aspect to the Festival.
Digital Stories
As part of the Youth Documentary Project the Project Director will also facilitate the Digital Stories Program. These stories are produced by young people with a disability and are narratives which give an insite into their personal lives, they require the participant to work in a one-on-one capacity with a facilitator.
We look forward to seeing you there!
Council once again invites all members of the community to participate in what will be the 10th year of the Bayside Film Festival. It offers a fantastic networking experience for young people at the start of a career - or for a chance to weigh up whether filmmaking is something they wish to be involved in or they simply wish to enhance the film experience. The Festival sessions are stimulating and tremendous fun, opening doors to like minded people allowing them to engage in local and global storey making.
We encourage the community to enjoy all aspects of the Film Festival through attendance during the Festival program or by supporting through participating schools or providing assistance in the form of funding. This Festival can provide tremendous support to young people wishing to explore the art of filmmaking and to explore professional development options through Art & Culture.
