A NOVEL TWIST

Three students (Lucy Pillinger, Emma Keefe and Murray Garrard) play with

and editing. Widescreen format.

WORDS OF DECEPTION
Kristian Digby (Devon)
A powerful and moving autobiographical account about dyslexia which looks
back at how the 17-year-old maker was treated at school, particularly prior
to his diagnosis at 16. Excellent computer graphics and animation give a
taste of what it is like to be dyslexic - words, letters and numbers become
confused and, as the maker puts it, ' ... move and dance around on the page'.

ONE NIGHT IN MAY
St. Cuthbert Films (Newcastle-on-Tyne)
This talented group once again uses a true incident and puts its own
interpretation on it most effectively - with amusing and dramatic results.
This time the setting is World War II, and a lot of trouble has been taken
to get the details correct. The leading players are Jonathan Forster, as
Mattie, and Jonathan Swales, as Tom. Original screenplay by David Peffer;
production adviser: Frank Hodges.
