‘Hope City’ recently had its World Premiere at Interfilm – 31st International Short Film Festival in Berlin, Germany. This film was, in part, an outreach project with the Sudanese community but it was also very much a JMC Academy collaboration with a number of past and present JMC students in key cast and crew roles.
We invite you to join Peter George and Thomas Baricevic at the Australian Premiere in Sydney this Saturday 9th January!

JMC Cast & Crew
This project was an outreach project of sorts. Director Thomas Baricevic worked extensively with the Sudanese community and at the time JMC Melbourne campus had a range of Sudanese students studying in the FTV department. Thomas
Baricevic approached Peter George to collaborate on this project and the story was developed. Thomas physically wrote the script. Peter then sought to engage various students in a host of Cast and Crew roles that connected working professionals with existing students on a professional short film production.
