Your own ideas are best
These are our ideas, yours will be better. Then you swap and your friend films you doing something different that you like. (Not if they are a rabbit). 
 
Can I film my imaginary friend?
Of course! You can tell us about him/her yourself. Your friend can even be a thing, a toy or scooter, penknife, piece of clothing, fishing rod, favourite book tree to climb, hideaway cubby house etc  Something special or someone special to you.
 
Who can join in?
Anyone aged 5-13 living in the area. Last year we had 4 local primary schools involved, this year 7 schools plus some kids from School of the Air. Anyone in the age group/area is welcome to enter, you do not have to attend a picture school. It’s free to enter.
 
How to start?
Register your interest here, and we will send you a password to view examples from last year, filming tips and details of how and when to upload completed films.
 
Deadline?
Films must be uploaded by April 13

Any prizes?
All entries will be screened on Friday May 2nd in our purpose built cinema in Gilgandra Shire Hall. All young film makers, their friends/parents and teachers are invited to join us for a tea and a special screening of all entries. Prizes will be awarded for the best films which will be shown the following night as part of the main event screenings.
 
Note for Parents/Teachers
Gilgandra Festival committee understand that films made by young people can be honest and personal. That's what makes them good. We will only show them to a local community audience in the Shire Hall May 2nd and 3rd. We will never put these films online or show them in any other context - without the express permission of the young film maker and their family/subject.

Thanks for your interest!
We look forward to seeing you in Gilgandra May 2!
