Parli-Flicks Short Film Award 2025: Local Youngsters Film among Winners
The NSW Parliament stated it is ''delighted to celebrate the imagination and storytelling talent of young filmmakers as we reveal the finalists, and the overall winner, of the 2025 Parli-Flicks Short Film Award!
This inspiring annual competition invited students from Years 5 to 12 across New South Wales to produce a one-minute film exploring a powerful question:
What do I value about democracy?
Our finalists, winners in each category, have impressed with not only their creative filmmaking skills but also their thoughtful reflections on the values that shape our democracy. Join us as we honour their outstanding work!''
Among the finalists announced are three local students - Elodie, Alexander and Phoebe, who won the the best film in the Metro catergory .
Pittwater MP Jacqui Scruby said on Monday November 17:
''I had the absolute pleasure of meeting them and finding out all about their short film called The Democrats which had just won a Parli-Flicks Short Film Award in the Best Metropolitan category. How cool is that!
This is a great short film about the parliamentary rats living in our sewers - "They hear everything that goes on in Parliament and they have opinions!" -Phoebe said. Don't we all Phoebe, don't we all.''
Creating this film provided a great opportunity for Elodie, Alexander and Phoebe to learn all about film editing, how to add captions, story telling and the rest.
I am so lucky to have these amazing students and so many amazing others in the Arts community in my electorate.''
What a great night - well done kids!''
