On the 23rd November 2017 AS and A2 MIA pupils attended the screening of the winning films from the 2017 Moving Image Arts (MIA) Awards Showcase, in partnership with CCEA and the Foyle Film Festival. This year marked the 11th Anniversary of CCEA’s Moving Image Arts Awards Showcase and we were delighted to announce, early this year, that Yr14 pupil Fiachra Gallagher Lawson received 1st prize in the AS level film category for his film entitled ‘Mr L’S limbo’.
As a recipient of this Award, Fiachra’s film will qualify for consideration in the Short Film category of the Oscar Academy Awards, and most recently has earnt him the privilege to be one of seven pupils in N. Ireland chosen to attend a ceremony in Belfast City Hall, on Tuesday 30th January, to honour Sir Kenneth Branagh with the Freedom of Belfast.
