Children's Video Postcard Project

The Syracuse International Film Festival Video Postcard program, which was inspired by the original Video Postcards of the Tel-Aviv International Children’s Film Festival, enters its second year with a workshop presentation. Middle school-age students from around the world produced video pieces no longer than five minutes in length on the topic of “Family”, which can be defined as broadly or as narrowly as the students like.

The video postcards have no narration or written dialogue, but ambient voices, such as snatches of real conversation, were permissible. Ambient sound and music were important components.

This year’s participants include Roxboro Road Middle School in North Syracuse, Ed Smith School in Syracuse, Manlius Pebble Hill School, the Oneida Nation, and Dakar Media Centre in Senegal.
