Oj Tato was one of three films to notch up doubles at the RTS Scotland Student Awards at Saint Luke’s in Glasgow, winning the Factual: Short Form category and Craft: Editing prize for Screen Academy Scotland (Edinburgh Napier University) student Eva Magdić Govedarica.
The Factual: Long Form award went to the University of Stirling’s Sub Zero Salvation, with Antoaneta Ninovska taking home the Craft: Editing award for her work on the film. University of the West of Scotland film Gas & Electricity scooped the Drama award, with William Duguid Cox winning the Craft: Camerawork trophy.
RTS Scotland Chair Stephen O’Donnell told the nominees and winners: “We hope you’ve enjoyed an early taster of the excitement that comes with an awards night. I look forward to seeing you on stage collecting an Emmy very soon.”
STV entertainment reporter Laura Boyd, who presented the awards for the fifth time, said: “It is one of my favourite events of the year. It’s a joy to host and I’m thrilled to be part of the students’ much-deserved celebrations.”
All the nominated films will be available on streaming service STV Player.
