well, that's all folks for another year... :( it's sad but we will all be having a good rest after straining our eyes with all those films! The closing gala saw BAFTA shorts hit the big screen but, even more exciting, all the workshop footage and animations that the young people created showcased! And what a fine collection of plasticine it was! The jury results were also announced, with the winner of the older jury being 'Starring Maja' and the younger jury choosing 'Orps The Movie' as their top film. Check out our website in the next few days to see which film won your audience vote as the best film!

It's been an amazing few weeks and we've had some great chances to meet people from the industry (producers from Japan, a director from India and some of the Harry Potter cast to name a few) which has given everyone an idea of what it takes to make the finished product which we see in cinemas.
A big thanks to Hyde Park Picture House for letting us use the best independent cinema in Leeds as our venue and Martin, Debbie, Rose and Lucy who organised the festival!

And it's over and out until next Easter... peacex
