After a long spell at Aberystwyth University, the Ffresh film festival hit the road and landed on Cardiff last week. From Romanian Documentaries to Welsh animations, Ffresh celebrates the artwork of students from Universities within the Principality.
As well as all the student films on exhibition, the festival included many guest speakers from within the media industry. The most inspiring were Owen Shears and Gary Owen's screen writing masterclass. That said Noah Harris and his talk on re branding E4 was also very interesting. All the speakers that took part can be found on www.ffresh.com.
On a personal level, as a volunteer, I attended the awards ceremony on the Friday evening, however I came out feeling that I should be up there and creating films of my own. It's an ambition of mine and im determined to do it. Hopefully I can be there next year representing UWIC! But I will leave you and recomend the short film 'The Perfect Wrestler', created by Cristian Britten from Newport Film School, it certainly made me chuckle.
