Far to Here - Making Of Video

We go behind the scenes with Filmmaker, Nick Calpakdjian, as he and his team make a stop-motion viral campaign for the DarfurAustralia Network.

The video is promoting a photography exhibition being held in Melbourne, Canberra and Sydney in 2009. (More details below).

Far To Here: Still images of moving stories on the road from Darfur to Australia.

The DARFUR AUSTRALIA NETWORK presents Far to Here, a photographic exhibition documenting the lives of Darfuri refugees now residing in Australia. In part one of the exhibition, photojournalist Kabir hanji captures the inner strength of the older generation who fled the conflict. In part two, Darfuri youth tell their own story, recording their day-to-day experiences on donated cameras. The result is a suite of images that spans the chasms between continents and generations a visual journey from war to peace, old to young and far to here. Make your way there...
