REELise Film Festival Su ppor t

MALCOLM TURNBULL MP Member for Wentworth Minister for Communications I am pleased to lend my support to the REELise Film Festival in their efforts to eradicate cyber- bullying and support youth mental health initiatives. REELise gives a genuine voice to teenagers in the Eastern Suburbs and further a!eld. Too often we hear tragic stories about the tragic impact of cyberbullying on younger Australians, they are stories which need not – and should not – be repeated. They are the stories of how young people marginalise other young people and it is up to the government and communities to condemn this activity and to send a clear message that cyberbullying will not be tolerated. The Commonwealth Government is doing its part through the establishment of a Children’s E-Safety Commissioner, developing an effective complaints system by legislation to get harmful material down from the large social media sites and by reviewing whether there is a need for a new, simpli!ed cyberbullying offence. Organisations like REELise are just as vital, providing a platform and an outlet for young people to express themselves through !lm and giving a mechanism of support and mentoring for those who are effected by cyberbullying to speak up and have their stories heard. I congratulate the entire team who have put together the REELise Film Festival and am glad to associate myself with this worthy cause.

Message of support from Hon. Gabrielle Upton MP

The REELise Film Festival is a community initiative drawing support from educators, youth workers, mental health professionals, !lmmakers, local businesses and families. The !lms submitted to the competition are exceptional and pro!le not only the talent of aspiring !lmmakers but also their personal insights into cyber-bullying, allowing young people to be heard on their terms. As the Minister of Sport and Recreation I am also keen to help reduce bullying. I support Play By The Rules (PBTR), a national initiative to make sport inclusive, safe and fair. The website, www. playbytherules.net.au, provides speci!c information on bullying, including cyber-bullying, and what steps administrators, coaches, players and parents should take to prevent and address these issues. In addition, Sport and Recreation staff conduct seminars and other activities to promote PBTR, and provide input to the ongoing development of resources and information contained on the site. Whilst the REELise Film Festival is doing serious work on an important issue it also offers a great evening of entertainment and fun for the whole family. I am delighted to support REELise and look forward to the success of its talented !lmmakers. Gabrielle Upton MP Member for Vaucluse Minister for Sport and Recreation

Afterwards Lucy Roberts-Lovell, Kincoppal-Rose Bay (Junior Division) A young girl, cyberbullies her friend Kat after a game of truth or dare reveals Kat’s harrowing secret. Mean messages are posted on Facebook and many other students join in the online taunting. The story follows our bully as she is rejected by her friends and denied a job. The film shows the consequence of bullying, not just for the victim, but for the bully as well. https://vimeo.com/86293882

The Departed Zoie Jin, Kincoppal – Rose Bay (Junior Division) Excluded. Friendless. Bullied. Suddenly she has a friend. Or so she thought. Confusion, frustration and a terrible decision follow. https://vimeo.com/86872385

www.REELise.org.au | 9 REELise Film Festival

Hold On Savas Aragon, South Sydney High School (Senior Division) Hold On examines the consequences of bullying, the technology facilitating it, the importance of taking action and the courage that requires. In this story a young man is bullied simply because his love of magic sets him apart. http://vimeo.com/85521498

Mute Gabe Gasparinatos, Reddam House (Senior Division) How do you escape an endless cycle? A bully relentlessly and repetitively torments his victim. The omnipresence of the bully permeates all aspects of his victim’s mundane existence. The drilling rhythm of the fi lm’s sound track then comes to a halt, highlighting a poignant dialogue and a potential solution. https://vimeo.com/86554534

Rewind Jenna Parker, Riverside Girls High School (Junior Division) The incessant ringing of a phone. Social exclusion. Hurtful messages. The menacing power of anonymity. What can you do? How do you take control? This fi lm examines the experience of a victim and her choices. http://vimeo.com/86406876

10 | www.REELise.org.au REELise Film Festival

Speak Up Django Cass, Reddam House (Junior Division) What motivates a bully? What empowers him? Are bystanders equally as culpable? Perhaps a bully and his victim have more in common than you might think. We take an inside peak at a father and son dynamic and its impact on a third party. https://vimeo.com/86488430

Theodore Ben Bauchet, Reddam House (Senior Division) A boy who loves fi sh goes unnoticed on his birthday. A delightful tale about the quest for social acceptance and being loved for who you are. https:// vimeo.com/86572792

Unspoken Lara Nemirovsky, Kambala (Junior Division) Madison Wesley has been April’s best friend since forever – that’s why April never said anything. That’s why she stood by and played along. That’s why she kept quiet. Even when they took it too far. Excruciatingly truthful performances reveal confused characters who struggle to understand their situation and their own behaviours. https://vimeo.com/86599800

www.REELise.org.au | 11 REELise Film Festival

Worm Aliette Kiss, Ascham (Junior Division) Who REALLY is the worm? A look at the rather intense and eventful day of four people – well one of them is not exactly human. While Astrid watches the bullying of Willow, mean girls and BFFs Stacy and Serena, experience a pivotal moment in their friendship. You will witness cruelty, loyalty, deception and what happens when you are clueless. Is this their moment of truth? Of silent truth? https://vimeo.com/86693203

REELise Revolution

In addition to the REELise youth mentoring program for 12 to 18 year olds REELise also developed an opportunity for primary and secondary students to become REELise Revolutionaries through onsite activities at local schools. REELise Revolution Week was launched on 28 October 2013 and promoted awareness of cyberbullying to over 1000 primary school students with activities including taking the REELise pledge. A !lm was made a !lm at Maroubra Junction Public School, with students sharing their emotions about what it would feel like to be bullied. Every student at Maroubra Junction Public School signed the REELise pledge and bound these in a book to present to Constable Yasmin London and REELise Call to Action Champion, Allison Cratchley. Students at Glenmore Road Primary School also joined the Revolution, taking the pledge and participating in a gold coin mufti day to raise money to support REELise. Kambala students also got in the swing of REELise Revolution Week and heard from our Ambassador, Charlotte Dawson about the real life consequences of cyberbullying. Here is the action plan for a REELise Revolutionary: Respect yourself - Be proud of who you are. Be strong and con!dent and aim to be the best you can be. Protect yourself - Be sensible online. Be kind to others and be a true friend - Stand up to bullies and help other people who are being bullied. Don’t join the bully pack and become part of the problem by sharing with others hurtful or embarrassing messages or images about or of someone that are sent to you. Be part of the solution. Speak out against cyberbullying - You can do that by your actions, showing your support for someone who has been bullied and by telling someone in authority about what is going on.
