Movie Makers

Kids from Tamaki have the opportunity to create movies to show in the Film Festival at Sylvia Park Hoyts Cinemas, Xtreme Screen.

There are 12 of schools from Tamaki that have joined the Film Festival. That doesn't mean that there are that many films. In fact all the classes from each school submit movies and they are all shown on the extreme screen.

Kids have been asking why do they have a Film Festival. We have Mrs Burt, who is hosting the Manaiakalani Film Festival, from Pt England school to tell you why, “ We hold the Film Festival so that our children have the opportunity to see their work on the biggest screen in the southern hemisphere, We also have it because I want everyone to see how awesome and fabulous our kids are, I am very proud of our kids.”

What do people think about the film festival? Brooklyn’s here from Pt England School to tell you what she thinks about the Film Festival, “ I think it is really fun for all the kids to see what their movies are about and see what creativity they have.” Now lets talk to Lucy from the same school, “It’s cool because the kids can make their own movies with a little help from their teacher”

All the kids are excited for the next Film Festival which is next year. If you want to see previous movies, type this link in your computer and it will come up with all the movies that have shown on the screen, be warned there are a lot of movies. https://sites.google.com/a/ptengland.school.nz/film-festival-2011/home
