UWE graduates from the Media Practice course have got two out of the ten entries in the student category of the Sheffield International Documentary Festival which is taking place next week (3-7 November). This is an international category so it’s great news for our recent graduates who have been selected but also builds on a fantastic track record that this course has in getting students’ films into important film festivals.
The image above is a still from Juris Kudeiko's film Don't Give Up Your Guns.
