Blogs
In addition to celebrating on the Xtreme Screen at Hoyts Cinemas all our films are shared on our blogs.
Everyone is invited to view films from the session they attended plus see all of the films from our Manaiakalani Schools submitted to this year's film festival.
All films will ‘go live’ on the blogs at 9am on the morning of the film festival and can be viewed on the Film Festival site
Blog Comments
We value feedback and invite you to leave comments letting us know what you enjoyed about our films.
Learning how to write quality blog comments contributes to our cybersmart learning and teaches us how to interact with others online in a kind, positive and helpful way.
Monitor the comments in response to your movie.
Who is responding to quality comments on your blog?
At school on the day of the film festival check out movies from schools you are not viewing at Sylvia Park.
The playlist for your session will be posted prior to the Film Festival. Save viewing these movies for the Cinema.
