Regional Arts Australia conference: Art at the Heart, Sept 2008
CHALLENGE: During the RAA’s (Regional Arts Australia) most recent bi-annual conference in Alice Springs, the Hero Project was invited to present its community empowerment work in a 1 hour conference presentation. We also were selected to run a 2-hour edit-in-camera workshop, introducing regional art workers and artists to our unique model.
PARTNERS: Regional Arts Australia; the Australia Council for the Arts; Arts SA ; CAAMA; Tallstoreez Productionz; Apple Australia; DECS
Film: Art at the Heart edit-in-camera films
OUTCOMES: We had a record number of participants: over 100 people attended our presentation and 40 people participated in the hands-on workshop on the second day. The 4 teams producing 4 great films. Feedback from the participants and audience was that it was one of the best presentations at RAA that year…
Above you find links to the films made during the Saturday 2-hour workshop at ‘Art at the Heart’ at CAAMA.
(We found the ‘lost film’, yah) and couldn’t resist making some tiny-weeny changes to support your edit-in-camera film ideas (as we understood them), we hope you like our input… Again big thanks to CAAMA for supporting the workshop and offering their great space.
We presented a number of our short films during the presentation to over 100 arts administrators, arts workers and community artists. The 4 films made by participants during the hands-on workshop were screened on the day and presented to RAA.
RAA 2008 featured the Hero Project on its post conference newsletter title page.
