(Last year's excitement...)
GHS pupils win our Short Film competition 2021!
|
Year 10 girls Katie Shopland and Rebecca Pugsley from Guildford High School made the winning entry to the GTA's first Short Film competition for Guildford Schools - which attracted 13 entries by 25 students from 3 schools. Prizes donated by Freiburg were presented to them by the Mayor of Guildford, Cllr Marsha Moseley, at the GTA Christmas Market in the Guildhall on 28 November 2021. |

The subject was "Guildford - my town/meine Stadt" and the brief to show, in 2 minutes and in English or German, their Guildford, any aspect of life in the town and borough for the benefit of people in Freiburg.
The judges, who included the Mayor, Professor Phil Powrie of University of Surrey and Nick Bale, Leader of Guildford Town Guides, said: "This film was easy to watch. It had broad coverage of different aspects of Guildford and was clear and enthusiastic. The quality of the German was both sophisticated and accurate and was supported by subtitles. We are unanimous in awarding this film First Prize and conclude it was the best advertisement for Guildford of all the films entered in the competition."
See what you think - watch it here.
