12th SIS Film & Media Awards
On 13 June, teachers, students, alumni and Film/Media professionals came together for the 12th anniversary Film & Media Awards ceremony. Held in The Space and MC’d by Emily Chiu (12N1) and Nidhi Mundra (12N1), students received prizes in 16 categories ranging from those in Bauhinia house competing for the Bodega Media Foundation Film Award right the way through to our senior section awards, which identified the best overall fiction film, which went to Karen Chan (12K2), Alicia Leong (12K1), Nidhi Mundra (12N1) & Chrystal Kim (12B2) for their film, Perfection. This very narrowly beat Birthday by Alex Platt (12M1), Ben Sieur (12M1) and Poppy Brian-Boys (12N2) though there was at least consolation for Alex taking the Best Editor Award and Ben, who was part of the winning team for the MaD Award.
The Best Non Fiction Film went to Liz Biek (13B1), one of two awards won by Liz on the night as she also deservedly scooped the Bodega Media Film & Television Production Award. Karen Chan (12K2) was the most successful student of the night taking three of the prizes but the judges commented on the difficulty involved in separating such very strong and different genres of films.
Finally, the thanks of the Film & Media department went to benefactor and filmmaker, Jennifer Deayton for providing the trophies and presenting the awards:
