The AHRC Research in Film Awards are returning for its fourth year with two new categories focused on migration and social media.
The two new awards for 2018 are:
- The People on the Move Award: Stories of New Beginnings
- Social Media Short Award
The competition closes on Thursday 14 June at 16:00 hours.
These awards are designed to recognise and reward the considerable body of work created at the interface between research and film and to acknowledge the world-leading work of arts and humanities researchers and practitioners.
There are five categories in total, including four aimed at the research community and one open to the general public – the only proviso is that the film must have been inspired by the arts and humanities. This offers a fantastic opportunity for members of the public to be involved while receiving recognition for their work.
The winning filmmakers in each category will receive £2,000 towards their filmmaking activities and will be honoured at an awards ceremony on Thursday 8 November at the prestigious 195 Piccadilly in London, the home of BAFTA.
The films will be judged by a panel of academic and film industry experts, chaired by Jan Dalley, Arts Editor of the Financial Times. Entrants have until 4pm on Thursday 14 June to apply.
