What Are The Osprey Short Film Awards?
At the 2012 festival John Hurt presented the awards, providing our county's young film makers the opportunity to meet and gain invaluable advice from the legendary actor.
“I feel it's very important for those of us who are established in films to make sure that we put ourselves out to encourage the next link in the chain. It's not difficult to put oneself out and it was greatly enjoyable watching their films and sharing their pleasure at the awards.”
A selection of these films is now available for screening from the British Federation Of Film Societies.
