Bidyadanga / Remote Indigenous Media Festival

In July Gina, Donna, Tahlia, John Ross and Andy Moreen travelled to Western Australia to attend the 21^st National Remote & Indigenous Media festival (NRIMF) & the Festival of Remote Australian Indigenous Moving image (FRAIM) that was held at the Friendly, Beautiful Bidyadanga Aboriginal Community and supported by First Nations Media Australia (FNMA) and professionally co-hosted and presented by PAKAM & ICTV. Thank you also to Bidyadanga Community, Community Broadcasting Foundation (CBF), National Indigenous Australians Agency (NIAA), Screen Australia, Screen West and Ngaire Pigram the PAKAM Festival Co-ordinator congrats on a job well done! 

There were numerous workshops available such as Podcast Production, Mobile Content Creation, Radio Outside Broadcasting, Cinematography skills, Drone operation, Live Multicam Video Production, Graphic Animation, Photography and Music Recording something for everyone. These workshops were proudly provided by Australian Film, Television and Radio School (AFTRS), ABC and Community Media Training Organisation (CMTO) 

The highlight of the trip would of course have to be seeing the beautiful beach & country, catching up with our forever friends and making new ones. The Bushfood & Bush medicine culture sharing workshops were fantastic, the FRAIM Video awards night and the closing night concert with the talented Family Shoveller Band.
