A team of four budding student filmmakers from Fairfield High School saw their film come to life on the big screen on Friday night (12th August 2016) as a finalist in Interrelate's NSW Film Festival for High Schools. The students were 1 of 7 finalist schools screened at the Australian Film Television and Radio School in Sydney.
The competition was a partnership between Interrelate and the Office of the Children's e-Safety Commissioner and was open to all NSW high school students. The films centred around the theme ‘Cyberbullying – the effect and how we solve it' and were filmed by groups of students, with the footage professionally edited by competition sponsor Filmpond.
Fairfield's entry by Lara Al Saify, Liam Li, Olveevya Al-Dawood and Larsa Khador, from Year 12 is an animated film titled ‘It's A Dog Eat Dog World' and explores the journey of a bully's change of heart and character.
There is still time for Fairfield High's students to win the People's Choice Award, with an online poll now open to decide the winner. Visit: www.facebook.com/Interrelate and vote for Fairfield High School's film to win first place!
