IAC Role of Honour
Awards & Trophies: British Open Award

IAC Cup for the
Best British Open Entry

presented by Alan Cartwright, FACI, - long-term Council Member.

The IAC Cup for the Best British Open entry.

The Open category was established for film students and those with similar access to professional facilties. The arrival of entries from the CINE organisation in the USA during the 1980s meant many excellent student movies were taking part in the festival. By the end of the century the number of such entries had fallen and digital video developments reduced the gap between professional and amateur faciltiies.
