Following the success of last year’s Latymer Shorts 1-minute film competition, Latymer students were invited to submit their entries for the 2020 competition, entitled: 2020 VISION: The times we live in.
Students were challenged to either capture an experience of lockdown or their reflections on themes that have touched the public consciousness this year.
The judges really enjoyed watching all the entries and noted in particular how filmmakers in the lower school had been just as brave, ambitious and resourceful as their older counterparts.
Latymer Shorts Judges 2020:
Matthew Bond – Latymerian and Film Critic
Tracey Scoffield – Latymer Governor and Film Producer
Rufus Jones – Latymer Parent and Actor
Commenting on this year’s entries, Mr Bohane, the competition organiser said: “The films about lockdown are all unique, thoughtful and poignant and a common thread we noticed across all entries was a propensity for both experimentation and humour, students actively engaging in some much needed creative escapism to counter the backdrop of this year’s challenges.
“Originally we created this competition as a platform to encourage young, creative minds to share their unique point of view through the magic of technology.,” continued Mr Bohane. “It was a real pleasure to see how the students responded to the challenging brief this year. I commend all entrants on having the bravery to pick up a camera and start shooting and for their commitment to organise, produce, edit and submit their finished pieces – making a film can be much more work in practice than you originally planned.”
