Oren Thaler – Hebrew Teacher

Emanuel Wins Film Competition

Last Friday Year 6 and Year 8 Hebrew classes attended the final stage of the annual “Linguafest Film Competition” for students of second Languages. The event was held at Event Cinemas in the city and hosted students from schools all around NSW. Twenty films in eight different languages made it to the final. Our Year 8 class won the People’s Choice trophy for their film “חולה כדורגל” (Soccer Fever). Our Year 6 class won the first prize for best film for stage 3 (Years 5-6) for their film ״החתונה שהשתגעה״A Wedding Gone Rogue. When asked by the MC what was the most challenging part, Year 6 student Jesse Barel, who led the production, said that “cutting down all the footage we had to two minutes was very hard. I even had to cut out my own scenes” he said. The first prize included a cheque for $300 which the Year 6 students will allocate for buying special equipment to help making films better and easier for the years to come.
