Pinnaroo Heist

Mallee Health youth workshop 3 - 2006 April - Pinnaroo SA

CHALLENGE: The Hero Project worked with 3 communities and schools in Murrayville, Pinnaroo and Karoonda in the second series of workshops to train the students in digital media skills to script, storyboard, film, record sound, and create edit-in-camera films.

OUTCOMES: The energetic and truly inter-generational team made a fun and engaging short film, shot and edited in one day! Using their quirky op-shop – a former bank with the old safe still intact – the young people created a fantastic little comedy. We especially enjoyed the tumbling tumble weed, which required a dedicated tumble weed wrangler…

IMPACT & FEEDBACK: The project was a great step in our ongoing outreach program to make digital media more accessible to regional and remote schools and communities.

Koonibba Vandalism

Koonibba Aboriginal Community youth workshop - 2006 April - Koonibba SA

Advice: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander viewers are advised that this website and video links may contain images and voices of people who have died.

CHALLENGE: The Koonibba Aboriginal Community Council commissioned this workshop as a cultural activity for their young people.
The youth team wanted to address the recent vandalism within their community.

OUTCOMES: The project was an outstanding success, with 25 young people involved for 5 days. The group documented the vandalism in their community and juxtaposed this with all the activities available to them at the youth centre. The young vandals turned up during filming and were keen to get involved and then unannounced cleaned up the damage. On the last day the whole community celebrated their film with a shared lunch screening.

SCREENINGS & AWARDS: Come Out 2007 Youth Film Festival at the Mercury Cinema in Adelaide.

MPACT & FEEDBACK: Over the last years, the surrounding remote communities watched the DVD and were very impressed with the outcome. Three years later, during our most recent visit to the Nullabor community of Yalata, most of the participants still remembered seeing the film made by the Koonibba youth in 2006.

CHALLENGE: The Hero Project team worked with 14 students at the Quorn Area School, supported by the Southern Flinders Ranges Health Service and the Quorn caravan park. They engaged the whole community during the film making and learnt basic digital video and production skills.

OUTCOMES: Their story tells the quirkiness of their beautiful country town: Legend has it that the mythical township of Qourn (on the edge of the great South Australian desert) can only be reached by camel.

The participants created a fabulous script and set of characters, (real and imagined) and scouted the most stunning locations.

SCREENINGS & AWARDS
Their films screened as part of the Screen Australia outback touring program at the Quorn caravan park, in front of an audience of over 200.
The film also screened at Come Out 2007 Youth Film Fest at the Mercury Cinema in Adelaide
