Good news for our MILLTOWN film and project.
1. It’s been nominated for a Museums & Galleries of NSW IMAGinE Awards (Engagement Programs) with Museums Bathurst.
2. It’s been selected for screening this weekend at New England Regional Film Festival in Armidale (screening Sat 17 Oct).
MILLTOWN is a new living history film work that celebrates the people of the historic Milltown area of Bathurst, and their connection to place and communities of the past, through the lens of the present.
A project between Arts OutWest and Chifley Home and Education Centre, the film features interviews with Bathurst locals who lived in the Milltown / South Bathurst area in the 20th century. Their memories are woven together with personal film footage and with stories of Ben and Elizabeth Chifley to create a beautiful celebration of life by the railways.
Filmed and edited by Henry Simmons @hwds
