Blak Up!
❶the vision.
Culture, connection and truth-telling.
FYA’s Blak Up! brought people together on Gunditjmara Country for three days of workshops, live performances and celebration. We set out to capture the energy of the gathering and the connections between people, creating a film that reflects the spirit of Blak Up!
director / editor JOSHUA BARRENO 1st AC / BTS SAMANTHA MALLARI
❷the outcome.
A real and raw film.
Across three days, we documented the workshops, performances and moments that made Blak Up! special. The finished films gave FYA a way to share the experience beyond the gathering and support its next Blak Up!, bringing its energy and sense of connection to people who weren’t there.
