The Entertainment and Comedy prize went to “an engaging film [with] strong performances”, Robbie Wrecked the Band. Beached, which had “great performances” and was “authentic and beautifully shot”, took the Drama prize. The Factual prize went to the University of Gloucester- shire’s Let’s Talk Clit, “an entertaining piece, visually very cool... funny, really watchable, mature and well written”.
