The Bradfield College Film Awards, the BRAFTAs, were a huge success again this year. To judge this year’s short films it was wonderful to welcome back some of our OBs who are currently working in the film and media industries; Benji Ikimi (A 00-05), Taichi Kimura (A 00-06), Rita Bernard-Shaw (I 13-15), Henry Boston-Crayfourd (H 11-16) and Harry Wallis (H 13-18). They were joined by Caroline Connie Willis who has just completed her debut feature film ‘Shalbourne’.
Our esteemed judging panel reached their final decisions in record time. The standard of the films were ‘better than the actual BAFTAs’ according to one of our judges! We are delighted to announce this year’s award winners:
