Short Shorts is an independent Student Film Competition, devised and managed by KPAT and supported by Kaipatiki Local Board.
It is a way for primary, intermediate and secondary students in Kaipatiki to have fun and be creative as they let their imaginations run wild, while developing film-making skills as writers, directors, actors, and editors.
All films are available on our Youtube Channel
The theme for 2021 is Creative Kaipatiki
You might be surprised to know that creativity isn’t only about creating masterpieces, writing books, or inventing the next big thing.
Instead, creativity is about finding new ways of approaching situations or solving problems. Click here for more about Creative Kaipatiki
