Previous Winners

Fujifilm Shorts 2009

Winners announced at packed ceremony at MPC in Wardour Street.

The winners of the inaugural Fujifilm Shorts competition are Outcasts and Leaving.

Outcasts, lit by Stuart Bentley, scooped the Best Film award, while DP Richard Stewart's work on Leaving won the Best Cinematography prize.

Stuart collected the Best Film award on behalf of director Ian Clark and producer Megan Stuart Wallace. Shot on the ETERNA 250T 16mm stock Outcasts is a vivid and original tale that warns against judging people purely by appearances.

By contrast, Richard Penfold and Sam Hearn's Leaving, has a stark realism that suits its subject of domestic abuse. Cinematographer Richard Stewart selected the ETERNA 400T 35mm, and over five 18 hour days captured the essence of a marriage underpinned by fear and violence.
