The Toki Pounamu Film Festival

   Toki Pounamu Film Festival

Today we went to the Toki Pounamu Film Festival at the
Regent Theatre in Mawhera/ Greymouth. All of the senior
schools around the West Coast went and there were lots of
little 2 to 3 minute long films. This was Karoro schools first
time entering into the festival.  
            My Favourite Film

My favourite film was the one where there was a few year
eight girls from our school and they talked about the bush
up behind our school. There was lots of commentary and
they were talking about our environment and our Maori
culture in Mawhera\ Greymouth. One of the main things
that stood out to me was the flow of the pictures going
from one picture to the next picture. It was good because
the person that was talking stopped talking about the photo
at the right time and started talking about the next photo at
the right time as well. Overall, all of the films were really
cool and fascinating because all of the films were different
and each one had its own type of story. Although, the one
about the bush that the girls did just stood out to me and
when I was listening and looking at the pictures it almost
felt like I was actually in the bush and that was what I could
see. Overall  the Film festival was a very fun thing to do and
watch together as a senior school.
