Cinesnaps Albany Schools Program
What is Cinesnaps all about?
Cinesnaps Albany bookings are open | Email [email protected] for the Program Pack
Cinesnaps is about students developing an appreciation of the filmmaking process, as well as the role film, as a digital medium, plays in our culture. Cinesnaps creates opportunities to grow future audiences for Australian film, as well as encouraging the next generation of aspiring young industry professionals.
The program aims to enhance the skills of regional young people by targeting key aspects of the curriculum , through the creative processes of film and associated STEAM areas. These can expand long-term educational outcomes for regional students.

The Cinesnaps Albany Program 2023 was a great success!
Looking back to April 2023…What a wonderful CinefestOZ Albany we enjoyed, with hundreds of students from schools in Albany and the wider Great Southern region. Thank you to all who participated – we hope you enjoyed the experience from film guests visiting your school as well as engaging with great Australian films with Q&As afterwards.
Following CinefestOZ Albany, the south west festival hosted several Albany students as they had been selected as finalists in the Cinesnaps Short Film Competition. Results are now in and Albany students took out the winner and runner ups for the years 7-9 category – tremendous work!!
