It was a busy and exciting spring term here at Central Film School!
From collaborating with Best of Clapham for our 48 hour film challenge to celebrating the success of alumni at the Royal Television Society Awards, the past few months have been full of memorable moments and meaningful milestones.
Alumni Success
Congratulations to CFS alumni Fern Jessop and Morgan Quashie for winning Best Drama at the Royal Television Society London Student Television Awards last month with their graduation film Out Like a Lamb.
The team were nominated in two different categories – an outstanding achievement to cap off what has been a highly successful festival run. You can watch their winning film over on our Youtube channel now.
Best of Clapham: The 48 Hour Challenge Returns
The 48 Hour Film Challenge returned in full force last term, and this time included an exciting collaboration with Best of Clapham. The theme for the challenge was ‘Celebrating Clapham’.
The winning entry was the wonderful “UnCommon” which follows a meticulous character navigating their day at Clapham Common.
CFS Pub Quiz
To celebrate the end of a successful spring term, CFS hosted an exciting pub quiz at the Landor – bringing together students, staff and alumni for a lively evening full of laughs and good vibes!
It was the perfect way to unwind after a busy term and embrace the arrival of longer evenings.
Professional Perspectives
Yalin gave our students a deep insight into how the filmmaking world is changing and adapting to the new creative force of AI, drawing on his experience as a former content executive at Youtube for 7 years. Gage brought his experience as a intimacy coordinator to share tips on authentic storytelling, and the evolving landscape of LGBTQ+ representation on screen.
Their insights challenged conventions, sparked meaningful discussions, and encouraged our students to think critically about the stories they tell and the impact those stories can have.
BFI Future Filmmakers Festival
Earlier this term, we attended the British Film Institute (BFI) Future Filmmakers Festival, where we connected with aspiring filmmakers and showcased our hands-on, industry-led approach to film education.
We also hit the floor to ask attendees who they thought was going to take home an Oscar this year! From Best Picture to standout performances, we had some bold predictions across the board.
Eat Me! Hits The Big Screen
Our second year students hosted a sold out private screening of their film Eat Me! – a psychological thriller blending elements of horror and surrealism.
The film was well received by all in attendance and was met with a momentous round of applause.
