PIFF 18

by Matthew Barker, teacher of Film 

The Preshil Independent Film Festival was a huge success on Wednesday 21 November. Every chair, beanbag and couch was taken with standing room only for some. The evening showcased a range of films from Years 8-12 covering thrillers, comedies, documentaries, experimental and action films. Preshil is lucky to have so many talented young filmmakers offering unique insights into the world.

A student panel judged the films and there were very tight margins in all categories. Many thanks to all who presented their work, participated in the films and attended on the night.

We look forward to an even bigger PIFF 19!
