Urban Shorts Randwick Youth Film Festival

Randwick City Council has proudly hosted Urban Shorts Randwick Youth Film Festival for five years, providing young filmmakers with an opportunity to demonstrate their creativity and explore ideas and issues that are important to them. In 2008 storyboards and screenplays were introduced as entry categories providing beginner film makers with an opportunity to participate. Council also funds free film making, editing, animation and storyboard workshops over the year providing opportunities to disadvantaged young people in the community. The highlight of Youth Week is the Ritz Cinema screening where entries to Urban Shorts are shown on the big screen – many for the first time. Prizes are awarded in all categories and these can include professional filmmaking workshops or cash. In 2006, Council sponsored the creation of a DVD for inclusion in school and public libraries to engage young people and raise the profile of Urban Shorts in the community.
