Young filmmakers call action in short films

TINY, talented filmmakers have produced short films for the Transition Towns Tatura Environmental Short-Film Competition.

The premise of each film was: What have been the benefits to the environment, the community and to your family during isolation, and what could we all do to keep these good things going when life gets back to normal after COVID-19?

Organiser, Ross Musolino said all films produced were impressive, making choosing a winner a difficult task.

Winner of the prep to grade three category was Seb Tartaglia, 8, of Tatura’s Sacred Heart School; winners in the grade four to six were Oscar Buckland, 11, and James Mawson, 10, both of Tallygaroopna Primary School; winner of the secondary school category was Samuel Morgan, 18, of Goulburn Valley Grammar School.

“I made my movie because I love playing with effects and creating movies,” said Seb Tartaglia.

“I wanted to show everyone the fun things you can do as family during the restrictions.”

Transition Towns Tatura is a community organisation concerned with improving the resilience of the community in the face of climate change and promoting environmentally sustainable living.
