ABC Open – The Moment Behind the Photo
ABC Open is coming to the GO NORTH FESTIVAL in Swan Hill to run free Moment Behind the Photo workshops.
In these workshops people will use personal photos to tell their stories about something funny, a big event in their lives or a story that sheds light on the history of the Swan Hill region.
Once you have the story behind the photo, ABC Open producer Lara van Raay will record your story and show you step-by-step how to turn that photo and your audio into a short film.
You don’t have to have any computer skills at all. You don’t need any film making skills either. These workshops are designed for beginners, so everyone can take part.
To give you an example of some stories from people who have recently attended these workshops click on the links below:
Here is one about local resident Nance Foley and her father working the Tumbling Tommy Scoop in Koraleigh:
Here is one from Don Turvey who photographed his own accident!
And here is one from Asha who caught her first carp when she was just 2 and a half.

WHAT IS ABC OPEN?
ABC Open is an exciting new way for regional communities to connect and share stories on the ABC. If you live in regional Australia, you’re invited to share your stories through photos, words, sound and video. ABC Open producers are based in regional towns around Australia to help you get started.
EVERYBODY has a story to tell. What’s yours?
