The Manaiakalani Film Festival

Yesterday afternoon was when the seniors at Pt England school headed over to the Sylvia Park cinemas to watch the manaiakalani film festival. It was a privilege going and watching different movies that other schools in the Manaiakalani had made. Room 19 ourselves had made our own movie which was From The Inside.   

We travelled by bus to and from Sylvia pak, then had to walk to the cinemas inside the mall. The Sylvia Park Cinemas that we went to , had one of the biggest screens in the world. So it was quite big if you think about it.

As soon as we got off the bus we had to line up into our class lines, making sure that everyone was there. When everyone was settled we walked into the mall and straight down to the cinemas. When we got there it was dark. We walked in and there were other kids from different schools like Tamaki college, Tamaki Primary, St Pius X etc...

Our senior block took up nearly half of the seats but luckily there were plenty. We sat on the far side of the cinemas which sounds uncomfortable  , but it really didn’t matter where we sat because the screen was massive and we could see it from any angle. When everyone was settled the first clip came on, which was the “introducing film” for all the students who had come and watched the manaiakalani film festival. After the introducing and welcoming film had came on and was presented by a girl named Angelica, the lights went low and the presenters from other schools came on to present their movie.

It was really cool watching other classes movies. I found Tamaki colleges movie (One Direction ) and Pt England’s movie ( Silent Treatment) from room 19 was the best.

At the end of the day we watched about 10-15 movies!! It was awesome!!
