The MLTA Linguafest Film Screening at Event Cinemas George Street Sydney was a wonderful celebration of students' language learning. This short film competition is now in its 10th year, and the finalists' films were creative and entertaining, with technology expertise embedded. They all looked very professional on the big screen!
The two minute films were in the target language studied by students and were based on the theme "A dream". Somewhere in the film, students needed to have a balloon. Languages represented in the films were Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Hebrew, Hindi, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese and Macedonian.
