Think you’ve seen all the best of Sydney films this year? Not until you’ve seen this!
NSI’s Meadowbank College Diploma of Communication and Media students are hosting their own spectacular film festival ‘Reel Event’ at NSI’s Meadowbank College on 17 November, 2011.
Some of Sydney’s finest up and coming film makers will present a bevy of original short, 2 – 15 minute films including documentaries, film trailers, comedies, romances and thrillers across two sessions.
The ABC’s Hungry Beast presenters Dan Ilic, Mark Fennell and Monique Schafter will be amongst the special guests attending the event. Other special guests will include directors of Sydney’s biggest and well-known festivals, the Sydney Film Festival, Sydney Underground Film Festival, Access All Areas Film Festival and Bondi Film Festival.
The students have each spent several months working on the films and promoting the festival, all in anticipation of the big event.
“It’s been a great experience for the students in the lead up to this,” said Communication and Media Teacher, Mike Horan.
“It’s been a project where each of the students have had to either produce a short film or be involved in promoting the festival.
"The students have had to come up with an idea, write the script, film and edit their work, design a website and produce promotional material, then present the final product on the day of the event.
“They’ve had to work with deadlines, organise with clients and get their creative ideas in a form which people will recognise and enjoy,” said “It’s a great chance for them to put their best foot forward and make their introduction into the industry.”
The event will also include a gallery of works from emerging artists who study fine arts at Meadowbank College and creative food displays by the hospitality students from NSI’s Ryde College.
Graduating media and communications Communication and Media students have the opportunity to articulate to university or enter the industry in a range of areas including journalism, film and television as well as script writing.
