It all started after…
an Artist in Residence, Dave Houston, had the brilliant idea to project his short film about Quambatook locals onto silo’s in 2014. The audience were amazed at how un-distorted and clear the images were and this got us thinking how it could be a regular event to keep us locals entertained.
The interest in Silo art became a hot topic with Guido Van Helten’s iconic mural on the Brim silo. The Quambatook Community Development Association (QCDA) saw an opportunity to capitalise on this and applied for a grant through the Foundations for Rural and Regional Renewal (FRRR) Small Grants Program for the purchase of a powerful projector to allow us to project onto the silos.
our BEGINNINGS…
were a little rough around the edges. With the assistance of the Gannawarra Shire Council we hired a sound technician to help us out and joined forces to screen our first movie for National Youth Week in April of 2016
