SCREENINGS OF BEGINNERS AND ADVANCED DIGITAL FILMMAKING WORKSHOPS
The films made by Channel Free participants screen in film festivals all over the world, as well as at our annual Channel Free Screening held at the Chauvel Cinema, where you, your family and friends can watch your movies on the big screen. Channel Free will also post your film online on our YouTube page and you can order a copy of all the Channel Free Workshop films on DVD.

BENEFIT TO YOUNG PEOPLE
Involvement in a Channel Free project enables young people to develop their creativity, self-confidence, teamwork and technical skills in an inspiring and professional environment and allows them to express themselves through a medium that transcends barriers in academic ability, literacy, language and cultural background. New Channel Free participants join an established collective of over 500 young Sydney filmmakers and become part of the Channel Free community, receiving regular news updates and invites to screenings, special events and online forums.

TUTORS
Our tutors are professional filmmakers who combine their expertise in filmmaking with a passion for teaching young people. We provide instruction in the principles of visual storytelling, as well as teaching participants the technical skills needed to use the latest equipment and filmmaking software. We aim to inspire and develop the confidence, creativity and storytelling abilities of all Channel Free participants.
