Mash It Up Short Film Festival July 2008

"A mashup is the alchemy of fusing music, noise, video and animation with your imagination."

It is the bringing together of new & traditional media be it video, photos, animation, music etc… and creating something new.

Mash It Up Short Film Festival is a Moreton Bay Regional Council Library Service project. It is a multifaceted arts based project that fuses technology with popular culture to inform, empower and support young people’s social and creative development.

The Mash it Up project started about 18 months ago as an opportunity to bring young people together and introduce them to emerging technology & social networking in a safe and creative way.

This led to the development and implementation of a project which has seen: · 90 young people aged between 12 and 22, participate in filmmaking workshops covering storyboarding, equipment handling (all equipment provided by the Council), film editing, and the safe use of social networking tools, such as, youtube and myspace.

Altogether 35 mashups created by 57 young film makers. The project has it’s own myspace page www.myspace.com/mashitup_filmfest and all the mashups are published on youtube. To view mashups on youtube, enter the search term “mashitup08”.

Mash It Up Short Film Festival was screened at Kallangur Community Centre, 5 July 2008.

Mash It Up is a collaborative venture between libraries, schools, community development and youth organisations, the Department of Communities, the State Library of Queensland and Sunshine Coast short film festival S.C.R.U.F.F.F.Y. Mash It Up is an example of the type of groundbreaking programming that Moreton Bay Regional Council offers to support young people’s core skill and creative development. The output and involvement by the community in the project has been truly amazing – the skill and talent demonstrated in the 35 entries is remarkable. Whole families have got involved in the project and it has significantly raised the profile and the value of the library service in our community.
