On Thursday 15^th June, our school held the inaugural Foxwell State Secondary College Film Festival. It was a wonderful evening for the students, staff, and members of our wider Foxwell community. At the event, ALP students from Years 7, 8 & 9 showcased short films they’d created this semester. The short films portrayed socially relevant messages they felt were important and having the opportunity to showcase their work was a very proud moment for the students.

The Film Festival was generously sponsored by Event Cinemas at Coomera Westfield and the QLD Tafe Creative Campus.

Except for the People’s Choice award, which was selected on the night by the audience, categories were pre-judged.

Awards were given to the following films in the following categories.

Best Cinematography                     The Eshay

Best Screen Play                            Why Me?

Best Comedy                                  Touch Grass

Best Drama                                    A Tendency to Apathy

Student Choice Awards                    Be Careful What You Wish For

People’s Choice Awards                    2K Street Balling

Best Overall Film                             Fast Forward

Later this year, the short films will be entered in an international film competition where their work will be shared with an even wider audience.
