From Pause to Play

Camden Council (1 other project)

DVD cover for seven short films created by people with disability, workshopped and produced at Camden Creative Studios

Reaching out to an increasing number of disability service organisations and their clients, a series of multimedia / short film workshops were held at Camden Creative Studios for people with disability in the Macarthur area, between July and December 2009.

The hands-on sessions were designed to enable participants to familiarise themselves with every aspect of film making, from start to finish, in order to demystify and experience the art of creative self expression through contemporary media.

As the workshops unfolded, discovery and invention elicited reactions that ranged from hugely funny to deeply touching. The various explorations culminated in a DVD compilation of seven quirky short films.

As well, to literally ‘enlarge’ upon the journey of filmmaking, a premiere on the big screen at United Cinemas Narellan to celebrate Camden Council’s International Day of People with Disability (IDPWD) 2009 festivities was generously provided, to a packed house.
