THE official launch of Mosaic of Voices: the short film will be held at Ballarat Library on Thursday 25 September.<\/p>\n
The interview-based film is the culmination of several months work by producer Diana Paez, a Colombian filmmaker based in Ballarat.<\/p>\n
“The short film documentary is filled with stories previously not heard,” said Centre for Multicultural Youth (CMY) Ballarat team leader Shiree Pilkington.<\/p>\n
“The young people featured spoke openly about belonging, what’s important to them, strong role models and who inspires them.<\/p>\n
“It’s raw and honest.<\/p>\n
“It’s a collective portrait of youth in Ballarat.”<\/p>\n
The film was created as part of the Living Stories project, a CMY Ballarat initiative with funding from the Federal Government’s Regional Arts Fund.<\/p>\n
“Many of our youth face barriers in their lives and the film celebrates their wonderful achievements despite these barriers,” said Ms Pilkington.<\/p>\n
“They are all kicking goals.”<\/p>\n
The launch will include performances by some of the young people featured in the film.<\/p>\n
“They are very talented musicians and singers,” said Ms Pilkington.<\/p>\n
The launch will take place on Thursday 25 September from 5.30pm to 6.30pm at Ballarat Library, 128 Doveton Street North.<\/p>\n
Registrations are essential as there is limited seating capacity. RSVP by 22 September for catering purposes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
