The Golden Turkey Award Mon 27 Apr 2015 Colin Egglestone (middle), with Judges Judith Simpson & Harry Nicholls Tonight we had this years Golden Turkey Award and the winner was Colin Egglestone with film 'Wings in the Wood'. It's a charming film about a young Brother and Sister, who go in to the woods looking for Fairies and eventually see them near the end of the film, although the audience get to see them all the way through. So, what is the Golden Turkey Award? Well, it's been wrongly called an award for the Worst Film, but is actually an award for a film which has failed in some way. Still confused? Here's an example. Let's say you made a film that was well directed and acted, but had a terrible script, or maybe it was a good script but the actors where stiffer than hard board. Maybe it was a film about an escaped Guerilla, but you could actually see the zip on the Guerilla costume. It's fair to say, this is one of our less serious competitions and something which gives us a chance to poke fun at our own work. So, why did Wings in the Wood win the Golden Turkey. Well, it was a lovely little film which had some really nice imaginary of two children playing in a woodland full of Faeries, but as is often the case, child actors tend not to be the best of actors, with dialogue often shouted out with more enthusiasm than skill. On top of that, it was shot and edited on Super VHS so has that old colour bleed analogue look to it. Our judges were Judith Simpson and Harry Nicholls who both thought it was a really sweet and enjoyable film despite it's faults. The Children in the film are Colin's grandchildren, who are now both in their twenties, so the film has become a really nice memento of their childhood.

Jim Walker wins UNICA Gold Medal 16th & 17th January 2015 Bradford Movie Maker's very own Jim Walker, has this year won the UNICA Gold Medal, whilst attending the Eulenspiegelien Film Festival in Berlin. He won it with his entry 'CheapAir Flight 101', which in 2014 had also won a Gold Award at the Festival of Nations in Austria. So, what is UNICA? Well, it's the Union Internationale du Cinéma, and it's purpose is to promote video and filmmaking as a means of international communication, as well as supporting international cultural cooperation and freedom of expression. Every year, they are involved with many different independent film festivals around the world and every year, award a gold medal to the film that they feel best promotes solidarity between the nations. So, well done to Jim for that. UNICAs web site - http://unica-web.com (Website no longer available)
