Rock up and celebrate Charleville stories on the big screen!

Stories from the Desert: Charleville Community Screening is a fun, inclusive red-carpet event for families, students, teachers, Elders and the whole community.

Come to Charleville State High School for a community screening featuring local workshop films from Charleville State School and Charleville State High School, along with Greg Huglin’s OCEAN’S 50. Entry is free, and everyone is welcome.

These films are part of Noosa Film Academy’s Stories from the Desert: Outback STEM Eco-Tourism project, proudly supported by the Queensland Government through Engaging Science Grants. The project helps very remote Queensland communities explore science, nature, tourism and local stories through hands-on filmmaking.

The Charleville stories can shine a light on the science of the outback, including stars, night skies, wildlife, weather, landscapes, artesian water, local history and the natural features that make Charleville special.

Eco-tourism means more than visiting beautiful places. It means learning about nature, respecting culture, caring for the environment and helping local communities share what makes their home unique.

The event will also include Greg Huglin’s OCEAN’S 50, a careers advice movie montage showing how curiosity, science, nature, travel and filmmaking can become a real screen career.

This screening is a chance to come together, cheer for local creativity, and celebrate the amazing science stories of Charleville and the wider outback.

Free entry. Inclusive and accessible. Everyone is welcome.
