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.
