Film Festival Comments

 

 
Task description: This term we were lucky enough to still have the Manaiakalani film festival online. It was so great seeing what all of the school had been doing over lockdown and still being able to create movies for us to enjoy. For this task we had to watch some of the films and comment on the blogs of the movies we liked the most. Here are my blog comments that I posted on these class blogs.
