Academics and film-makers are being encouraged to enter their work into the Research in Film Awards, organised by the Arts and Humanities Research Council. The competition closes on Friday 01 July at 17:00 hours. These awards are designed to encourage, stimulate and recognise the considerable body of work created at the interface between research and film and to recognise the world-leading work of researchers, practitioners and film-makers in the arts and humanities research community There are five categories in total with four of them aimed at the research community - this includes a one award with a focus on Utopia, as 2016 is the 500th anniversary of Thomas More's 'Utopia' being published. The Awards also have a category open to the general public. The winning film makers in each category will receive £2,000 towards their film-making and the chance to attend a ceremony this November at the prestigious 195 Piccadilly in London, the home of BAFTA. Last year's entries were judged to great acclaim, by a panel of industry and academic experts including film director Beeban Kidron; Financial Times Arts Editor, Jan Dalley; and actor and producer, Diana Quick, many of whom will be appearing on the judging panel for this year's awards. |

This film represents a unique cultural and creative resource, conveying aspects of diversity and multilingualism in Africa. It paints a portrait of diversity and multilingualism as a daily, hourly linguistic practice, drawing the audience in by telling the story of the village of Agnack Grand preparing for an unforgettable event.
Judges commented, this is "a beautifully filmed and scripted film," said judges; "a highly sophisticated film, beautifully shot, cut, and recorded, which conveys the nature of multilingual life in the village very effectively indeed." | Inspiration Award - Best film inspired by arts and humanities research
This short film examines the 'The Hunter Heartbeat Method' developed by Kelly Hunter which uses Shakespeare to release the communicative blocks within children with autism. The filming took place only twice during two 40 minutes long sessions with the children. The film aims to tell the story of these children in that particular space at that specific moment of time.
Judges said this film was "a straightforward but powerful account of work with a very challenging group of young people"; "a powerful film expressing the value of this particular arts therapy project. It highlights the power of art to break down barriers between people who communicate differently."
