About
Screentest is the UK’s only National Student Film Festival; a celebration of the very best is student filmmaking from around the country. Each year we host the three-day film festival in Bristol, with celebrity speakers, screenings, workshops and an awards ceremony.
We are also pleased to include the BAFTA nominated shorts screening in our programme each year. In 2008 BAFTA winner Luis Cook and in 2009 BAFTA winner Esther May Campbell attended the festival to present their films in this screening.
Over the course of the weekend the year’s selection of student-made short films is shown alongside a great programme of guest speakers hosting Q & A sessions, talks and workshops. 2009 saw contributions from BAFTA award winner Esther May Campbell, NFTS talent scout Paul Green, David Pearson, David Bekkevold, Peter Hinton, Jeremy Routledge, Derek Kilkenny-Blake and Matt Tickner from Wildescreen. Previous years have seen guests such as Director Ken Loach, Actress Emily Watson, Screenwriter David Nicholls, Chairman of BAFTA Duncan Kenworthy, and UK Film Council Chairman Stewart Till.
