Bursary Awards & Young Deaffest Day.

The films produced during the film and animation courses were screened as part of Young Deaffest on Friday, November 23rd at the Lighthouse in Wolverhampton.

During the filmmaking course, the students were invited to pitch for a bursary prize of £1000 to produce a film independently and have it screened at the Lighthouse.

Five groups decided to pitch, and gave their presentations to the Young Deaffest audience, who then voted for their favourite. You can watch the event in this 15-minute film: (The film is in 2 parts. Click the titles to view them.)
