City of Port Philips is calling on all filmmakers, experienced or not, to produce original short films focusing on the theme of inclusion.

Community Stories on Film showcases short films developed and produced by community members. Inclusive communities are thriving communities and provide a positive sense of belonging for everyone.

Films will be available online on International Day of People with Disability (IDPwD) on Friday 3 December as part of Community Stories on Film. The short films will be available for viewing online for one week.

Your short film can be in any visual or artistic style. You might make a documentary, a comedy, interview someone, or make a purely artistic film. It must be suitable for young audiences and no longer than 10 minutes in length.

Who can get involved?

People with disability, families, carers and advocates in the City of Port Phillip community are invited to contribute an original short film. This project is open to people who:

  • live in the City of Port Phillip
  • work in the City of Port Phillip
  • have a significant connection to the Port Phillip community through regular volunteering, study or involvement with a Port Phillip-based community organisation.
  • have access to a device to use for the creation of a short film (for example, a smartphone or tablet).
  • are 18 years or over

How to get involved?

You can submit your registration now by completing the form on the International Day of People with Disability page.

Registrations close at 5 pm on Wednesday 10 November. Film submissions are due at 5 pm on Wednesday 17 November.
