Adelaide Pageant youth workshop - 2006 November - Adelaide SA
CHALLENGE: The Hero Project team worked with 6 participants from its outreach program to document the 2006 Christmas Pageant. They engaged the whole community during the film making and learnt basic event documentation skills.
OUTCOMES: Their documentation follows the day of the Christmas Pageant and reveals this strange but alluring local custom: from early morning BBQ to the all revealing moments of Santa…
The participants recorded many interviews with participants, punters and VIP’s and managed to keep up with the caravan while filming.
SCREENINGS & AWARDS
The film screened as part of the Come Out 2007 Youth Film Fest at the Mercury Cinema in Adelaide.
IMPACT & FEEDBACK: Events SA used the film to promote the Adelaide Christmas Pageant.
This unusual project was a great opportunity for the Hero Project participants to hone their event documentation skills. Where else do you have a chance to run through a crowd of Christmas Pageant fans, with a lanyard around yoiur neck and all-access camera team behind you… Fabulous work, especially the daring interview of the man himself. I nearly fell of my sledge.
