Film Society partners with ABC Open to create local stories



Over the past few months, Colleen Hughson, ABC Open Producer and Port Fairy Film Society member, delivered a number of filmmaking workshops to interested punters in the community. The workshops were supported by the film society and run at the Port Fairy Community House.




The aim of the workshops was to create a number of photo stories on the theme of change. So workshop participants found subjects and stories that interested them and created short films (2-3 min duration) through audio and photographs.


You watch the stories by going to the abc southwestvic local website:




You can find out more about ABC Open and ABC Projects by visiting the ABC Open website http://open.abc.net.au/


You would be amazed with the diversity of the stories and the quality of the projects created locally by the community. If you are impressed with the stories then let the filmmakers know by making a comment on the ABC Open South West Vic page: http://open.abc.net.au/posts/4072


The ABC Open website was launched on September 15th. You can read all about the ABC Open project, how to get involved, who is doing what around Australia and how you can create your own local story to contribute to ABC Open by checking out the website or by contacting Colleen Hughson at the local ABC Radio Station.


We hope you enjoy the stories
