Living in Alice

Pro­grams that sup­port, empow­er and ele­vate the young peo­ple of Alice Springs. 

Alice Springs Town Coun­cil acknowl­edges the diverse skills, inter­ests and needs of young peo­ple who live, work or study in our munic­i­pal­i­ty. We know that young peo­ple enjoy oppor­tu­ni­ties to devel­op their skills, engage with and make pos­i­tive con­tri­bu­tions to their com­mu­ni­ty and express them­selves. Our Youth Pro­grams wish to hon­our this in the way we design, plan and imple­ment pro­grams for young peo­ple. We enjoy deliv­er­ing both reg­u­lar annu­al and var­ied taster pro­grams to sup­port young peo­ple’s mixed inter­ests which change, grow and devel­op as they do. Our pro­grams are focused towards young peo­ple aged 12 to 25.

Our reg­u­lar pro­grams include the Phoney Film Fes­ti­val, Youth Recy­cled Art Prize, and Youth Skate Work­shops. What’s on can be seen below and reg­is­ter for a work­shop here

Phoney Film Fes­ti­val 2024  — We want to know what ​‘Com­mu­ni­ty’ means to the young peo­ple of Alice Springs

Alice Springs Town Coun­cil are excit­ed to announce details for the 2024 Phoney Film Fes­ti­val. The Phoney Film Fes­ti­val has been a long run­ning and suc­cess­ful event on the Alice Springs Cal­en­dar for the last 11 years. This year we are sim­pli­fy­ing the nom­i­na­tion process and lean­ing into sto­ry telling. Young peo­ple aged 12 – 25 years are asked to make a short film up to 2 min­utes in length made using a smart device. 

The theme for this year is Com­mu­ni­ty with young peo­ple sim­ply being asked to tell a sto­ry of what com­mu­ni­ty means to them with­out the restric­tion of cat­e­gories or fur­ther guidelines. 

Nom­i­na­tions can be sub­mit­ted here pri­or to June 17 with select­ed films to be screened at the Alice Springs Cin­e­ma on Thurs­day 27^th June. 

Indi­vid­ual and group nom­i­na­tions are wel­come and there are cash prizes to be won!
