The Digital Culture program provides training and production opportunities for the remote youth and elders of Beswick to engage in cultural learning and cultural promotions using digital technology.
“Djilpin Arts integrates youth media into our various community arts projects. In these projects young people are given responsible roles as filmmakers and directors. They are really documenting all the arts and cultural activities in the community, that’s their job and they are paid for that”.
- Fleur Parry, Manager Djilpin Arts
Youth are trained in digital video and use this technology to record cultural material with elders. Projects are multiplying and young people are taking on new roles as filmmakers, writers and directors. They create short dramas, music videos, record cultural knowledge and are commissioned for work by third party agencies. Films are distributed through the national and international short film festivals circuits and via digital broadcast networks such as YouTube, MySpace and the ABC.
