E6. Best Documentary (Nominee)
Sport on Your Adelaide Park Lands
From Patrick Prior
A short documentary exploring the development of sporting facilities on the Adelaide Park Lands and what that means for the public.
I’m Patrick Prior, a South Australian filmmaker and cinematographer passionate about capturing authentic local stories. Based in SA, my work focuses on visually striking, grounded storytelling. My latest documentary, which explores the vibrant culture of community sport within the iconic Adelaide Park Lands, has been proudly shortlisted for the Australia Youth Film Festival. Through this project, I wanted to highlight how these unique green spaces serve as the competitive and social heartbeat of our city. I’m thrilled to share this glimpse of Adelaide's sporting community with the festival audience.

This is inspired by the ever development and cutting down of tree in the Adelaide parklands for commercial use.
