Students land top Royal Television Society prizes
Anglia Ruskin wins best student documentary, short feature and drama awards
Talented Anglia Ruskin University students won three of the five main student awards up for grabs at last night’s Royal Television Society East Awards.
BA (Hons) Film and Television Production students Theo Douchand, Ed Armstrong and Billy Stephens won best documentary with “Rebirth”, while Mihaela Motica won best short feature for “I”, a film on three screens.
And Alina Bobilova, Theo Douchand, Mehdi Iromlou, Alessandro Piccato and Matt Burfield took home the best drama prize for “Hello Friend”. Anglia Ruskin also had a fourth film, “Bite”, nominated in the short feature category, as well as two craft nominations, at the awards event held at Norwich University of The Arts.
Sophie Jackson, Course Leader for BA (Hons) Film and Television Production at Anglia Ruskin said:
Dr Shreepali Patel, Director of Anglia Ruskin’s StoryLab research institute, said:
“These awards, added to the numerous national awards that the film and television undergraduate and postgraduate courses are collecting, enhance Anglia Ruskin’s reputation for filmmaking and storytelling in all formats. They also reflect the calibre of teaching at the Cambridge School of Art, where students are taught by academics with a professional background in film and television.”
