Empowering voices and sharing stories that matter
APM Communities and Filmmaker, Marty Stevens, are hosting their Empower Real Story Telling Festival and invites families, carers and people with disability to join them for a mixed media event to celebrate International Day of People with Disability.
This event is all about empowering voices and sharing stories through film or photo stories. Watch event performances, such as the Variety WA Choir, Joondalup Entertainers Theatre School, WADA Signing Choir and Abdol the “Assassinator”.
Here are some additional ways to get involved:
- Submit a short film or photo story – Entries close Thursday, 31 October 2024. There will be a $500 first prize.
- Watch Filmbites Workshops – Learn how to create a short film and submit it to Empower Real
- Become an Event Day Volunteer
The event will be live-streamed for accessibility and regional participation across WA. The link will be provided before the event.
The festival will be Auslan Interpreted. All shortlisted entries will be captioned and audio-described. Accessible seating and hearing loops are available on request.
