Next generation of young filmmakers recognised at Moving Image Awards
Talented young filmmakers have been recognised for their outstanding work at the fourth annual Moving Image Awards in a ceremony held at the British Film Institute in London.
Students, teachers and parents from schools and colleges from across the UK attended the ceremony to celebrate the success of talented young directors, screenwriters and producers whose work was shortlisted.
Elliot Collier, 18 from Newcastle-Under-Lyme College in Staffordshire, won the award for best short film and was selected as overall winner for his mystery drama film, The Last Reel, which tells the emotional story of a man looking back over his life.
Elliot said: "I’m still in shock that I’ve won! It was really unexpected. I’m currently studying TV and Radio at the University of Salford and am hoping to go into TV and film, it’s something I’m really passionate about. This competition has given me that push to keep going. I enjoyed Film Studies at college so much, and I think watching all these different films just inspired me to make something myself. The thought of being able to look at something on a big screen and think, ‘wow, I made it!’ is really exciting."
The Moving Image Awards, designed in partnership with the British Film Institute, recognises and rewards the UK's most talented student filmmakers and screenwriters, encouraging more young people to consider a career within the film industry.
Every year, students undertaking WJEC Eduqas qualifications in Film
and Media Studies are invited to submit their work for consideration by a panel of judges, with awards for the best short film, best TV extract, best film extract, best music video, best screenplay and one overall winner.

Bringing together over 50 unique medieval manuscripts and early print editions from the 8th to 16th centuries, Discovering Literature: Medieval presents a new way to explore some of the earliest works and most influential figures of English literature.

Dr Alex Whitfield, Head of Learning Programmes at the British Library, said: ‘Discovering Literature is a fantastic resource, which enables the British
Library to open up its collections to a broader audience. We are always trying to find innovative ways to help learners of all ages engage with the Library’s collections and we are so pleased that such extraordinary collection items and valuable academic insight can now be accessed by anyone, anywhere. Ultimately, we hope that the website will enrich the study and enjoyment of medieval literature for a new generation.’
