STORIES FROM YOUR
NEIGHBOURHOOD
Are you interested in getting to know your neighbours? Is
there a story about your community that deserves to be told
as a mini documentary?
Studies show that many people lead healthier and happier
lives and feel safer in their homes, when they know their
neighbours. Media Resource Centre (MRC) and the City of
PAE are excited to launch ‘Stories From My Neighbourhood’, a
project celebrating neighbourhood strengths in our community
through mini documentaries. MRC has a long history of
strengthening community bonds by bringing professional
filmmakers together with community members to tell the
stories of their communities.
We are looking for your ideas about living as part of a
community in the City of PAE.Your story can have a focus
on an individual, a group of residents, neighbours, a smaller
community within the Council or from a physical space like a
street.You also have the option of working with experienced
filmmakers and be involved in the making of the documentary
so you can develop skills in filmmaking through a workshop
and the actual filming.
These films will be launched at the Neighbourhood Day on
March 25.To be involved in this project, you need to be 14 or
older.
If you are interested in submitting your idea or being involved
please come along to one of the following information
sessions being held from 5.30- 6.30pm.
