YOUTH DOCUMENTARY PROJECT (YDP)

Unique to the Bayside Film Festival, the award winning Youth Documentary Project (YDP) seeks to engage young adults in positive modes of self-expression and creative investigation through the creation of short documentaries.

In 2011, five professional filmmakers worked alongside media teachers to deliver 120 film production workshops to year 9 and 10 students over a three - month period. The students worked in small crews to create short documentaries on a topic of their choice.

70 short documentaries were created over this period and will be shown throughout the Bayside Film Festival on 17 – 20 August 2011.
