There will also be an IndigifestOZ Schools experience on Friday 27 August, also at Busselton Tennis Club. AIEOs/schools, please register your interest here. Cinesnaps-IndigifestOZ Schools Program interest.
IndigifestOZ showcases quality Indigenous film works and engages film-goers through a combination of Feature Films in General Screenings, Short Film events and in the free Community Screenings. In promoting Aboriginal film works, new audiences develop, as does an increased awareness and understanding of culture and appreciation of Aboriginal talent.
Together with the Cinesnaps Schools Program, IndigifestOZ also offers school incursions and excursions, including engagement with established and emerging Indigenous filmmakers.
