NORTH v SOUTH REPORT (2009 competition) - Grand Final

The theme for 2009 is Trapped

Around 60 people turned up to the Village Hall in Farnborough, Kent on Sunday 31st January for the Southern showing of the North v South Grand Final. Apart from the 10 finalists, the other 9 films entered in the Northern heat were also shown and were well received. Our judges for the Final were Christine Williams and Malcolm Dickinson, both of whom work in the TV industry in the North of England. As is usual at the Grand Final, we ran two audience competitions. Firstly, they were asked to match the judge’s top 5 films and secondly, to guess the theme of this year’s competition which was also decided by the judges. Nobody has ever guessed the theme in the past so it came as no surprise that the same thing happened this year. The winner of the Audience Vote Competition was Brenda Troughton of Spring Park Film Makers who correctly matched 4 of the 5 winners.

Here then are the results:-

	Audience Vote				Judges' Decision
1st	The Trap	Huddersfield Video Club		1st	The Trap	Huddersfield Video Club
2nd	Alice	Derby Movie Makers		2nd	Alice	Derby Movie Makers
3rd	Gotcha!	Orpington Video & Film Makers		3rd	Brandon Lewis	XDL Films
4th	The Inventor	Nuneaton Moviemakers		4th	The Inventor	Nuneaton Moviemakers
5th	Brandon Lewis (Joint) Not Enough Rope (Joint)	XDL Films Medway Film Makers		5th	Not Enough Rope	Medway Film Makers

May I take this opportunity to thank all the clubs who entered the 2009 Competition and everyone who attended both the Southern Heat last November and the Grand Final on a cold January day. You can all have a few days off before putting your minds to this year’s theme which is:-
