Film Festival Report Story

Read the report, then investigate how it works. Finish by planning your own short film-festival report story. Use details from the report or invent sensible ones.

Live from the festival

Good afternoon! I’m Jai Patel, reporting from the Riverbank Short Film Festival in Adelaide. Families are gathering outside the community hall, where young filmmakers are showing their new films today. The audience has just watched The Tin Can Rocket, a lively animated film about two friends who build a rocket from recycled materials. Bright colours and a bouncy soundtrack make the launch scene exciting. When the rocket wobbles into a gum tree, children in the audience burst into laughter. “I liked how the friends kept trying,” says Dylan, one of the festival visitors. Festival organiser Sienna Lee explains, “We wanted to give local young filmmakers a chance to share their ideas.” The films will be screened until 4 pm, and visitors can vote for their favourite. This is Jai Patel, reporting from Adelaide. Back to the studio!
