Connecting with other people across this big, diverse Territory of ours can be challenging at times … but Territorians have always been creative and resourceful.

The inaugural Connecting Through Film 2008 Schools Film Festival is aimed at creating connections between students and communities throughout the Territory — telling us through film, your stories, your hopes and your dreams.

The festival is about building communications and multimedia skills and giving Territory kids the chance to recognise, celebrate and share your achievements with each other — and the wider world.

I encourage all students in the Northern Territory to share your experiences — connect with your fellow learners through the first ever Schools Film Festival. I look forward to seeing your stories on screen later this year.
