Success for AEL students at Royal Television Society NI Student TV awards
Massive congratulations to our Queen's University Belfast Film and Broadcast students who brought home the prizes at this year's Royal Television Society Northern Ireland Student Television Awards!
Drama Award won by ‘Roots’ - QUB Film students Claire Mulligan, Elen Nahapetyan, Jasmin Walls, Bethany Colvin and Rachel Madden. ‘Roots’ is a film about identity, telling the story of an insecure black student who tries to straighten her natural afro hair to fit in with a predominately white Belfast community.
Factual Award won by ‘Defining Street Food’ - QUB Broadcast Production students Samuel Robinson, Ryan Elliman and Toby James. This documentary highlighted the highs and lows of providing top-quality street food in the hidden corners of the North Coast of Ireland.
A special Highly Commended Award was given to ‘Made in the Emerald Isle’ by QUB Broadcast Production students Caitlin Hurley, Ellery Wooff, Cian Flanagan and Kerah Reyes. This documentary tracks Irish independent musicians as they break into the creative industry.
The winners will go forward to the national RTS Student Media Awards on 24th June in London, good luck everyone!
