= = =[]= =Re@ct is a film making festival for Moonee Valley Schools in 2009.= This project enables students and teachers to gain the skills necessary to script, film and edit a short media piece of work that focuses on a mathematical concept. Completed films will become a resource. = =
 * This year it has a Mathematics focus and is titled "** **Re@cting 2 Maths Concepts".**

In small groups students will produce a short film with a focus on creating understanding around a mathematical concept. Prior to production students will complete training sessions that will provide opportunities to interact with and learn from directors, camera operators and editors from within the film and television industry.
