ReelOzInd! Australia Indonesia Short Film Festival was established as a cultural program with the aim of raising awareness and improving understanding between Australians and Indonesians.
Since it began in 2016, ReelOzInd! has become a dynamic platform for Australian and Indonesian filmmakers to share their stories with audiences in both countries. The ReelOzInd! Teaching Resource (TR) accelerates this connection in support of Indonesian studies and language learning.
It offers teachers of Indonesian studies and language, and educators in other relevant areas of the Australian curriculum, a contemporary and engaging online teaching resource.
The TR draws from the ReelOzInd! archive of Indonesia-language short films representing different genres (fiction, documentary, animation), and suitable for various ages and learning levels. Specially selected by Indonesian language-teaching experts, the short films are classified according to level of language proficiency and theme and accompanied by classroom materials and additional resources.
ReelOzInd! Australia Indonesia Short Film Competition and Festival seeks to raise awareness and improve understanding between the peoples of both countries.
