‘The Gentle Art of Online Storytelling’ ABC Open feature on the film.
In 2010 the rural towns of Clunes and Creswick were inundated by powerful floods, three times. This short film tells a moving story of individual resilience in the wake of disaster.
This project reflecting on the recovery process was part of a celebration of the ending of the Hepburn Health Services’ Flood Recovery Strategy. Hepburn Health Services commissioned a short film based on audio interviews and stills photography, to celebrate and reflect stories of recovery, survival and experiences as told by eyewitnesses and those afflicted by the floods. The short formed a ‘digital keepsake’ for the community, and was the key part of a micro website and was featured in an article by ABC Open. We collaborated with Designscope on this project and the lovely still photography was by Tim Burder.
