Filmmaking masterclass for secondary students
A new youth program has been developed by the South Australian Government to give budding filmmakers the chance to connect with the state's burgeoning film industry.
The government has partnered with the Adelaide Film Festival and invested $200,000 into AFF Youth, connecting secondary students from across the state to the global screen industry, guiding them to create and share their own work.
The AFF Youth program includes an online masterclass in filmmaking for students, virtual reality and gaming elements, industry networking opportunities for teachers, meet the screen-maker opportunities for students, and screenings of feature films, documentaries, short films and other screen content.
The first edition of the AFF Youth program will take place in July 2021.
The Adelaide Film Festival has also announced the AFF Youth Statewide Filming Competition, which will be open to all South Australian schools until the end of Term 1 2021.
Entries to the competition are now open and more information is available on the Adelaide Film Festival website.
