Big Stories, Small Towns

22 October 2010 | 10:00 - By Julia Scott-Stevenson

Big Stories, Small Towns is an interactive online documentary about Port Augusta, South Australia. The interactive form suits this concept perfectly – rather than sitting back to watch a linear story tracing the town’s history, you can explore the town for yourself. Head to the men’s shed or the old folk’s home, and then wander on over to meet some of the individuals that make up the community.

About this Blog

Julia Scott-Stevenson Julia is a writer and researcher of all things documentary, and even dabbles in making them herself from time to time. She lived in the Pacific Islands of Fiji and Samoa for a few years, where she made a documentary about the inaugural Miss Tokelau beauty pageant and a short documentary about climate change in Samoa, which screened at the inaugural Pacific Climate Change Film Festival. While in the Pacific she was subjected to limited internet connectivity, and was staggered to discover the possibilities in online documentary on her return at the end of 2008. She has since been making up for lost time by undertaking a PhD researching cross-platform documentary, and also working on a database documentary about volunteers. Julia is also on the programming team for Antenna International Documentary Film Festival.
