Mini
Movies this year included schools from Sussex Inlet in the South
to Thirroul in the north and Colo Vale and Wandellama in the
west.
The
Roxy Theatre, Nowra ran two screenings of the movies as did the
Gala Cinema at Warrawong. For the first time ever we held
a screening in Bowral at the Empire Theatre.
This
year saw the introduction of the $5 meal deal, where all cinemas
provided a popcorn and drink. The majority of the 2000
children who attended over the three-day period thought that
this was a pretty good way to view the 22 movies that had been
entered into the festival this year.
For
the first time this year the Mini Movies team provided professional
development in animation on the training days. A number
of animated films were entered into the festival in 2007.
We
will be offering animation again at the professional development
days in 2008. |
